Services
Phase 1 Early Treatment
Phase 1 Early Treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 6-10 before all permanent teeth erupt. This approach develops proper jaw alignment to create space for permanent teeth and corrects alignment problems. Our board-certified orthodontist designs customized plans to prevent future dental complications while ensuring optimal oral development.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. These custom thermoplastic trays correct spacing issues, overbites, and underbites while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Our orthodontist monitors progress every two weeks to ensure proper tooth movement and optimal results.
Braces
Traditional metal braces provide effective, affordable orthodontic treatment using brackets and wires to straighten teeth. This proven method offers precise control over tooth movement for complex cases. Our team ensures proper placement and maintenance while guiding patients through dietary and hygiene considerations during treatment.
Retainers
Retainers preserve your straightened smile after completing orthodontic treatment. These custom-fitted appliances prevent natural tooth shifting following braces or Invisalign. We provide personalized instructions for wear duration and maintenance to ensure long-term stability of your corrected bite and alignment.
