Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using SmartTrack material and digital planning, we create customized treatment plans that gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. Patients benefit from removable trays that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving results comparable to metal braces.
Traditional Braces
Our traditional braces utilize advanced bracket and wire systems to correct complex dental misalignments. This proven treatment option effectively addresses severe crowding, bite issues, and jaw positioning concerns through periodic adjustments. Patients receive detailed care instructions to maintain oral health throughout their treatment process.
Children's Orthodontics
We specialize in early orthodontic intervention for children aged seven and older. Our approach guides jaw development, creates space for permanent teeth, and corrects harmful oral habits. Early treatment often prevents more complex issues requiring surgery or extended treatment in adolescence.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide prompt solutions for orthodontic emergencies including broken brackets, poking wires, and loose appliances. Our team offers immediate guidance for temporary fixes and schedules urgent appointments to maintain treatment progress while ensuring patient comfort.
Orthodontic Consultations
Complimentary consultations include comprehensive evaluations with diagnostic imaging to determine individual treatment needs. Dr. Brickman personally discusses smile goals, explains available options, and creates customized treatment roadmaps during these informative sessions for new patients.
