Our Services
Traditional Braces
Braces can correct crooked or crowded teeth, a misaligned bite, and jaw problems. Braces can also eliminate problems you may have with eating, speaking, or keeping your teeth clean. With advancements in dental technology, traditional braces are now sleeker, smaller, and more comfortable. Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets that are placed on your teeth with an adhesive and connected by wire. They require periodic tightening so steady pressure can gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw. While metal braces brackets are still the most common, we also offer aesthetic ceramic brackets.
Interceptive Orthodontics
The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends children be evaluated by an Orthodontist by the age of 7. Many children require the guidance of their dental and facial development with a first phase of orthodontic treatment, commonly called Phase 1. Orthodontic appliances can help to correct functional problems with their bite or jaw growth.
Invisalign
If you want straighter teeth without the metal, clear aligners are a great way to discreetly get the results you want! Invisalign clear aligners, are a set of clear, removable trays that are custom fitted to your teeth. You wear them for 22 hours a day and change your trays as your teeth shift. Your Orthodontist will evaluate your specific case to see if Invisalign is right for you.
Some, but not all, case can be treated with Invisalign.
