Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment problems through gradual, controlled tooth movement. With regular adjustments and patient cooperation, braces deliver lasting results for improved oral health and aesthetics.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. These custom-made, nearly invisible trays gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing easy maintenance of oral hygiene. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic treatment options with minimal disruption to daily life.
Digital Imaging
Our iTero Element and iCAT 3D imaging systems provide precise, high-resolution scans for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. These technologies eliminate traditional impressions, reduce radiation exposure, and enable virtual treatment simulations to help patients visualize potential outcomes before starting care.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Interceptive orthodontics for children aged 7-10 addresses developing bite issues and jaw growth concerns. Expanding arches and guiding permanent tooth eruption can prevent more complex problems later, often reducing future treatment time and improving long-term dental alignment outcomes.
Retainer Services
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. We provide both removable and fixed options with detailed care instructions to ensure lasting results. Regular follow-up appointments monitor retention stability and address any adjustments needed during the post-treatment phase.

Love, love, love this office! Everyone, especially Dr. Downey, is super kind and caring. He really listened to my concerns and took them seriously. I went in for a retainer repair after an awful experience at my previous ortho, and he went above and beyond to fix my retainer for a very reasonable price!
