Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Dr. Rankie creates customized 3D treatment plans, digitally mapping tooth movements for optimal results. This option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces.
Self-ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use advanced bracket technology to reduce friction and discomfort while accelerating treatment. These braces eliminate elastic ties, improving hygiene and requiring fewer adjustments compared to conventional systems.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental issues in children aged 6-10. This approach prevents severe problems, reduces future treatment complexity, and guides jaw growth for optimal dental alignment and facial symmetry.
Esthetic Braces
Esthetic braces feature tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a discreet appearance. Ideal for patients prioritizing aesthetics, these braces combine the effectiveness of traditional metal braces with a more subtle visual profile during treatment.
Braces
Modern metal braces offer precise tooth movement with durable, efficient technology. We provide updated designs that minimize discomfort while maximizing effectiveness for comprehensive orthodontic corrections across all age groups.
