Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. This treatment straightens teeth gradually without metal brackets or wires, allowing for easier oral hygiene and dietary freedom. Ideal for teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic correction, Invisalign combines comfort with effectiveness while maintaining natural appearance throughout treatment.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces provide reliable orthodontic correction for complex alignment issues. Our modern braces feature smaller, more comfortable designs while maintaining effectiveness for patients of all ages. This proven treatment option remains the best choice for certain bite corrections and severe misalignment cases requiring precise tooth movement.
Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing dental issues in children aged 7-10. This phase creates proper space for permanent teeth and guides jaw growth for optimal development. Timely treatment can prevent more complex issues later while establishing foundations for beautiful, functional smiles through specialized pediatric care techniques.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen offers clear aligner benefits specifically designed for adolescent patients. The system includes eruption tabs for growing teeth and compliance indicators to track wear time effectively. This solution addresses teenage-specific orthodontic needs while maintaining confidence during critical social development years through virtually invisible treatment.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics combines braces with corrective jaw surgery for severe bite issues and facial imbalances. Our coordinated approach treats complex cases requiring both orthodontic alignment and structural jaw adjustments. This comprehensive treatment improves both dental function and facial aesthetics through collaboration with oral surgeons for optimal results.

Dr. Poggio was extremely knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. I felt like I could trust her % and she did not try to sell me something that was not needed. She's in it for the long run I felt, and honestly felt she wanted to help, instead of wanting to make money. Thank you
