Services
Braces
Our metal braces use Pitts 21 self-ligating brackets for efficient tooth movement and patient comfort. These advanced brackets feature built-in doors that securely hold wires in place while minimizing friction. This technology enables precise control over tooth positioning throughout treatment while maintaining patient comfort. Our experienced orthodontists customize each bracket placement to optimize treatment outcomes for both children and adults seeking traditional orthodontic correction.
Lightforce Clear Aligners
LightForce braces represent the first fully customized 3D-printed orthodontic solution. Using digital imaging technology, we create personalized brackets designed specifically for each patient's unique dental anatomy. This innovative approach allows for more efficient tooth movement while maintaining the aesthetic benefits of clear aligners. The customized design reduces treatment time while achieving precise, predictable results for patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark clear aligners offer a discreet, effective solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. These removable, virtually invisible aligners are custom-fabricated using advanced 3D imaging technology to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. The smooth, comfortable material eliminates irritation while allowing patients to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines. This treatment option is particularly popular among adult patients seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Early Orthodontics
Our early orthodontic intervention focuses on guiding proper jaw development in growing children. This phase typically addresses issues like crossbites, narrow dental arches, and severe crowding before all permanent teeth erupt. By addressing skeletal discrepancies early, we can often prevent more complex problems later while creating adequate space for permanent teeth. Treatment usually occurs between ages 7-11 and may reduce future treatment duration.
Adult Orthodontics
We specialize in esthetic orthodontic solutions for adult patients seeking smile improvement. Treatment options include clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual braces that blend with natural teeth. Our approach considers unique adult needs including periodontal health, existing dental work, and time constraints. Many patients achieve their desired results in 12-24 months while maintaining professional and social commitments with minimal visibility of treatment.
