Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our practice offers customized SmartTrack material aligners that gently shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Patients appreciate the virtually invisible appearance and comfort of this modern orthodontic solution.
Braces
We provide both traditional metal braces and aesthetic ceramic options for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Our braces are designed to correct misalignment issues ranging from simple spacing problems to complex bite irregularities. Treatment includes regular adjustments and patient education on proper care and maintenance throughout the process.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw discrepancies that cannot be corrected with braces alone. This specialized treatment combines orthodontic preparation with surgical repositioning of the jaws to improve function and facial symmetry. Our team coordinates with oral surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes for complex cases.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses orthodontic issues in children before all permanent teeth erupt. Phase one treatment guides jaw development and creates space for incoming teeth, while phase two focuses on final tooth positioning. Early intervention can prevent more complex problems later in life.
Orthodontic Retention
Post-treatment retention ensures lasting results through customized Vivera retainers. These clear, removable retainers maintain teeth positions after braces or Invisalign treatment. We provide detailed instructions for retainer care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor long-term stability.
