Services
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel for effective tooth alignment. These durable appliances feature smaller brackets and advanced archwires for improved comfort and aesthetics. Our team customizes treatment plans to address individual orthodontic needs while maintaining optimal oral health throughout the process. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward achieving proper bite alignment and beautiful smiles.
Clear Ceramic Braces
3M Clarity Advanced ceramic braces offer discreet tooth correction with translucent materials that blend with natural teeth. These aesthetic appliances maintain effectiveness while reducing visibility in photos and social situations. Our specialists carefully monitor treatment progress to ensure optimal results while maintaining the patient's confidence throughout their orthodontic journey.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses a series of removable clear plastic trays to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets or wires. This system allows for convenient eating and oral hygiene while maintaining treatment effectiveness. Our certified providers create customized aligner sequences to achieve precise tooth movements according to individual treatment plans.
InBrace Lingual Braces
InBrace places braces behind teeth for completely invisible orthodontic treatment. This innovative system corrects alignment issues without affecting appearance during daily activities. Our team utilizes specialized techniques to ensure proper placement and monitoring of these lingual braces throughout the treatment process.
Digital Scanning
Our iTero scanner replaces traditional putty impressions with comfortable digital imaging technology. This system creates precise 3D models of teeth and bite patterns for accurate treatment planning. The non-invasive process improves patient comfort while enhancing diagnostic capabilities and treatment outcome predictions.
