Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth effectively. This proven method allows for precise tooth movement with optional colored elastics for personalization. Our practice offers both standard and Damon self-ligating systems that reduce friction and appointment frequency while maintaining superior control over tooth positioning.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This technology offers aesthetic advantages and convenience for patients seeking discreet orthodontic solutions. Our practice incorporates digital scanning and 3D printing to create precise aligner sequences tailored to each patient's unique dental structure.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen provides clear aligner therapy specifically designed for adolescent patients. This system includes eruption tabs to accommodate growing teeth and compliance indicators to track wear time. Our team specializes in guiding teenagers through this treatment while addressing their unique orthodontic needs and lifestyle considerations.
3D Technology
Our practice utilizes advanced 3D imaging technology for precise treatment planning and progress monitoring. This digital approach reduces radiation exposure by 75% compared to traditional X-rays while providing detailed anatomical visualization. The technology integrates with our treatment systems to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues outside regular appointments. Our emergency services address appliance-related discomfort, broken brackets, and other time-sensitive concerns. Patients receive guidance for temporary relief and immediate access to our clinical team for problem resolution.

We came here to continue/finish treatment from another state. First appointment and we were told treatment was complete. They then made time, immediately, to remove the braces, install the permanent retainer and make the removable ones. All in the first appointment! My son was was thrilled to walk out of the office with his new smile. Super friendly staff with great service. Highly recommend them!

It was my daughters first time going there for a consultation. She was very at ease the way the doctor expressed how her orthodontic journey would go and let her know that she wasn't alone! Everyone was so kind and answered all of our questions! Highly recommend this orthodontist office!
