Services
Clear Aligners
Our clear aligner treatments use Invisalign and 3M systems to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and cleaning routines. This treatment option combines proven orthodontic techniques with modern aesthetics for patients seeking subtle correction.
Smile Express
Smile Express offers accelerated at-home aligner treatment for adults with minor alignment issues. Using remote monitoring technology, patients receive customized Invisalign trays and virtual check-ins. This six-month program maintains professional oversight while minimizing office visits through digital progress tracking.
Growth Monitoring
We provide specialized growth monitoring for children starting at age 7. Our orthodontists track dental development to identify potential issues early. This preventive approach allows timely intervention when needed, potentially reducing future treatment complexity through strategic timing of orthodontic care.
Remote Care
Our remote care system enables patients to manage treatment through a mobile app. Users can submit progress photos, receive treatment updates, and communicate with our team digitally. This technology reduces required office visits while maintaining professional oversight of orthodontic progress.
Emergency Orthodontics
We offer urgent orthodontic care for issues like broken brackets or poking wires. Patients receive prompt attention during business hours with same-day appointments available. Our team provides immediate solutions to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress.
