Services
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental dental issues in children aged 7-9. Our Phase I treatment focuses on correcting bite problems, guiding jaw growth, and creating space for permanent teeth. This specialized approach prevents future complications while establishing a foundation for optimal oral development.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our practice offers both standard Invisalign and Invisalign Teen options with SmartTrack material for gradual, comfortable tooth movement and improved aesthetics.
Braces
We provide traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces for comprehensive orthodontic correction. Our bracket systems address complex alignment issues while maintaining patient comfort and treatment efficiency through advanced wire technology.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain post-treatment alignment after braces removal. Our practice offers both fixed and removable retention options with personalized instructions to ensure long-term stability of your corrected smile.
iTero Scanning
Goop-Free iTero scanning creates precise 3D digital impressions for treatment planning. This advanced technology eliminates traditional putty molds, improving patient comfort while enhancing diagnostic accuracy and appliance fabrication.
