Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, modern alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. These removable trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for patients seeking aesthetic solutions, Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults. Our Diamond Provider status ensures access to advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans for optimal results.
Braces
We provide traditional metal braces and ceramic braces for effective teeth alignment. Metal braces offer durability and affordability, while ceramic braces blend with natural tooth color for a subtler appearance. Both options address complex orthodontic issues like overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignment. Treatment includes regular adjustments to ensure precise tooth movement and long-term stability.
Jaw Correction
Jaw correction addresses misaligned jaws and bite issues through orthodontic appliances and surgical planning. This treatment improves chewing function, speech, and facial symmetry. We specialize in diagnosing jaw joint problems and creating comprehensive plans that may include braces, Forsus appliances, or surgical referrals. Early intervention can prevent severe complications in growing patients.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces or Invisalign treatment. We offer fixed and removable options, including traditional wire retainers and clear plastic retainers. Proper retention prevents shifting and ensures lasting results. Patients receive detailed care instructions to maximize retainer longevity and effectiveness in preserving their new smile.
Airway Focused Orthodontics
Airway-focused orthodontics addresses breathing issues like sleep apnea through specialized treatments. Using CBCT imaging, we assess airway structure and develop plans involving palatal expanders or jaw repositioning. This approach improves airflow, reduces snoring, and enhances overall quality of life. Treatment is available for children and adults with diagnosed airway obstructions.
