Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This advanced system effectively corrects various alignment issues including crowding, spacing, and bite problems. Patients appreciate the removable nature of Invisalign aligners, which allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving professional results.
Braces
We offer multiple brace options including traditional metal, ceramic, and self-ligating systems. These fixed appliances precisely move teeth into optimal positions using gentle, continuous pressure. Modern bracket designs and archwires work together to minimize treatment time while maximizing comfort and effectiveness.
Radiance Brackets
Radiance brackets are made from single-crystal sapphire for exceptional clarity and strength. These nearly invisible braces combine aesthetic appeal with functional performance, offering stain-resistant, comfortable treatment for patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction without compromising effectiveness.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties to hold archwires, reducing friction and pressure. This innovative system often shortens treatment duration while maintaining comfort, with options available in both metal and clear bracket materials for personalized aesthetic choices.
AcceleDent Aura
AcceleDent Aura uses SoftPulse Technology to safely accelerate tooth movement by up to 50%. This FDA-cleared device complements traditional orthodontic treatments through gentle micropulses that enhance bone remodeling, reducing overall treatment time while maintaining optimal results.
