Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct complex dental alignment issues through precision brackets and wires. Our experienced team customizes treatment plans for optimal results, with regular adjustments every 5-6 weeks. This proven solution addresses bite problems and crooked teeth for patients seeking durable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. As Premier Providers, we offer this advanced solution for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic care. Removable aligners allow normal eating and cleaning while achieving results in as little as one year for many patients.
Fixed Appliances
Fixed orthodontic appliances provide continuous force for correcting severe alignment issues. These non-removable devices include specialized brackets and wires tailored to each patient's needs. Treatment typically requires regular 15-20 minute adjustment appointments every 5-6 weeks to monitor progress and make necessary modifications.
Removable Appliances
Custom removable appliances address specific orthodontic needs while allowing patient flexibility. These devices include retainers and functional appliances designed to guide tooth movement and jaw development. Patients receive detailed instructions for proper use and maintenance to ensure treatment effectiveness.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt care for orthodontic emergencies including broken brackets or wires. Patients receive immediate guidance through our after-hours contact system to address discomfort or appliance damage. Emergency appointments prioritize resolving issues that affect treatment progress or patient comfort.
