Services
Braces
Traditional braces use metal or clear brackets and wires to gradually straighten teeth and correct bite issues. This treatment suits children, teens, and adults seeking durable, effective results. Our practice offers customized bracket placement and modern wire technology for enhanced comfort and faster treatment times.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These nearly invisible trays are ideal for adults and teens wanting aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with biweekly aligner changes and regular progress check-ups.
Radiance Clear Braces
Radiance Clear Braces utilize sapphire-based brackets for nearly invisible orthodontic treatment. These stain-resistant, smooth brackets provide strength and aesthetics for patients seeking less noticeable fixed appliances while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional braces.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. We offer fixed and removable options crafted from durable materials to preserve your new smile's stability and prevent relapse over time.
Two Phase Treatment
This specialized approach combines early intervention for children with comprehensive treatment during adolescence. Phase one addresses jaw development while phase two perfects tooth alignment, optimizing results for complex cases requiring growth management.
