Services
Braces
We offer traditional stainless steel braces with customizable colorful ties for personalized treatment. These low-profile metal brackets provide effective tooth alignment through precise adjustments. Our braces incorporate modern technology to enhance comfort and reduce treatment duration while maintaining reliable orthodontic correction.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners provide a discreet orthodontic solution using transparent, flexible materials. We utilize Invisalign and ClearCorrect systems for gradual tooth movement without visible brackets. This removable option suits patients seeking aesthetic alternatives while maintaining treatment effectiveness through digital planning technology.
Special Needs Orthodontics
Our practice specializes in treating patients with craniofacial abnormalities and developmental conditions. Dr. Stacy's expertise includes cleft palate cases and Down syndrome patients, combining specialized techniques with compassionate care. We coordinate multidisciplinary approaches to address unique orthodontic requirements while prioritizing patient comfort and accessibility.
Multidisciplinary Treatments
We manage severe craniofacial conditions requiring surgical intervention through coordinated care with oral surgeons. Our approach addresses TMJ disorders, jaw abnormalities, and post-traumatic corrections. This comprehensive treatment combines orthodontic and surgical elements for functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement in complex dental cases.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses orthodontic issues during childhood development stages. Phase I treatment guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth, typically between ages 7-12. Phase II completes alignment once all permanent teeth erupt, reducing future extractions or surgical needs through proactive orthodontic management.
