Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces provide effective tooth alignment for patients of all ages. Our specialists customize treatment plans to address crowding, spacing, and bite issues while ensuring comfort throughout the process. With regular adjustments and patient education about dietary restrictions, we help achieve optimal results within projected treatment timelines.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable aligners. Our certified providers have successfully treated hundreds of patients since 1999, utilizing 3D imaging technology to create precise treatment plans that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires.
Early Evaluation
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends evaluation by age seven. Our specialists identify developing issues with jaw growth and emerging teeth, providing timely interventions that may prevent more serious problems and reduce future treatment complexity through guided dental development.
TMJ Treatment
We address temporomandibular joint disorders through customized treatment plans that alleviate pain and improve jaw function. Our approach combines orthodontic techniques with bite analysis to correct alignment issues contributing to TMJ discomfort and related symptoms.
Virtual Consultation
Our digital assessment process allows patients to submit photos and dental history for preliminary evaluation. This convenient option helps determine treatment needs and candidacy for Invisalign or braces before scheduling in-office diagnostic records, streamlining the initial consultation process.
