Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our practice offers SmartTrack material aligners that provide precise tooth movement with enhanced comfort. Patients appreciate the removable design for eating and cleaning, combined with weekly aligner changes for accelerated results. This technology allows us to treat various orthodontic issues including crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities.
Traditional Braces
Modern traditional braces combine durable materials with refined technology for effective tooth alignment. We offer customized bracket placement and wire adjustments to correct complex dental issues. This treatment option works well for patients requiring significant tooth movement or those preferring fixed appliances. Our team ensures regular monitoring and adjustments to maintain optimal progress throughout treatment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses orthopedic and orthodontic issues in children aged 3-10. We focus on jaw development, airway optimization, and creating space for permanent teeth. Treatments may include palatal expanders, headgear, or functional appliances to guide facial growth. This proactive approach often reduces future treatment complexity and improves long-term dental health outcomes.
3D Imaging
Our iTero digital scanning system creates precise 3D images of patients' teeth and bite patterns. This technology eliminates traditional putty impressions, offering a more comfortable experience. The detailed imaging supports accurate treatment planning and allows patients to visualize their expected results. It enhances diagnostic capabilities for complex cases requiring precise tooth movement tracking.
PROPEL Orthodontics
PROPEL technology enhances tooth movement efficiency through targeted micro-osteoperforations. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates localized bone remodeling, reducing treatment duration. Ideal for patients seeking faster results, it works synergistically with braces or Invisalign. Our team customizes the approach to maintain comfort while optimizing orthodontic outcomes.

Report
Dr Atique is not only knowledgeable, she is the sweetest person ever!!! Being in my 40s, I wanted to improve my smile but also was very scared of possible bad side effects. Dr Atique was VERY patient with me, answering every question I had (even the stupid ones), and always explaining the details of my treatment. I love all the people who work there. They are very efficient, always nice and polite, it seems like they are happy to be working there. Best of all, I loved my results and no bad side effects!!!

I am an Invisalign patient at Atique Orthodontics. It has been a great experience. I am one of those people who have high anxiety about any dental work. The Atique staff put my mind at ease. Procedures were explained to me before being performed and they answered all of my questions in laymens terms that I could understand. This contributed greatly to my comfort level. The entire staff is obviously expert in their field and I have great confidence in them. Looking forward to my new beautiful smile. Thank you Dr. Atique and Staff!

Report
I absolutely love Dr. Atique. As an adult getting braces for an overbite (after already having them twice as a kid), I was anxious to not have to wear traditional wire brackets again. The first orthodontist I went to for a consult said that Invisalign wasn't really an option for me because I was a "complex case". However, when I came to see Dr. Atique she said I could indeed use Invisalign. If you are considering Invisalign I would highly recommend Dr. Atique! Moreover, she treated the core of my problem which was my tongue continually pushing against my front teeth over the years.
She had me see a myofunctional therapist to retrain my tongue and how I swallow. It was fascinating to learn how my tongue had caused my teeth to shift and how I could avoid that happening again once my braces were off. I think Dr. Atique's ability to look at my case holistically and get to the root of the issue was huge, and distinguishes her from other orthodontists. Thank you Dr. Atique!
