Orthodontic Consultations
Our comprehensive consultations assess dental alignment needs through digital scans and X-rays. Dr. Phillips develops customized treatment plans considering each patient's unique oral structure and smile goals. The process includes detailed explanations of available options and expected timelines.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners. As a Platinum Provider, Dr. Phillips offers advanced treatment planning for optimal results. This discreet option suits teens and adults seeking comfortable, nearly invisible orthodontic correction with flexible eating and cleaning routines.
Metal Braces
High-quality stainless steel braces correct complex alignment issues effectively. Our modern designs reduce discomfort while maintaining reliability. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward optimal dental positioning for patients preferring fixed treatment solutions.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic braces provide aesthetic alternatives to metal brackets. These less visible options maintain effectiveness while blending with natural teeth. Ideal for patients seeking discreet correction without compromising treatment outcomes.
Retainers
Custom retainers preserve treatment results by maintaining new tooth positions. We provide durable, comfortable retainers with usage guidelines to ensure long-term stability. Regular follow-ups monitor retention success and address any necessary adjustments.
