Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom 3D-printed aligners to straighten teeth discreetly without metal brackets. The removable, smooth plastic trays reduce mouth irritation and allow normal eating and oral hygiene. Patients in East Northport benefit from fewer office visits as aligners are changed at home per treatment plans.
Braces
Metal and ceramic bracket systems correct misalignment through gradual pressure adjustments. Our Suffolk County practice offers clear bracket options for discreet treatment. Regular tightening sessions ensure teeth move into optimal positions over time with personalized care.
PROPEL Treatment
PROPEL technology reduces treatment time by up to 50% using micro-osteoperforations to stimulate bone remodeling. This in-office procedure complements braces or aligners, allowing faster tooth movement while maintaining safety and precision for Dix Hills patients.
Free Evaluation
Complimentary orthodontic assessments diagnose bite issues and create customized treatment roadmaps. Our Commack team evaluates candidates for braces or Invisalign, explains options, and addresses concerns during this no-obligation appointment for children and adults.
Diagnostic Records
Digital X-rays, intraoral scans, and clinical exams create comprehensive patient profiles. These records enable precise measurements of teeth, jaws, and facial structures to design effective orthodontic plans tailored to individual anatomy and growth patterns.
