Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces provide precise tooth movement for complex alignment issues. Our customized treatment plans address overcrowding, bite irregularities, and jaw positioning concerns through advanced bracket technology. With options for colored elastics and clear ceramic brackets, we combine functionality with aesthetic considerations for patients of all ages.
Invisalign
Invisalign's removable clear aligners offer discreet teeth straightening without traditional brackets. Using 3D imaging technology, we create sequential aligners that gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. This solution suits active lifestyles while effectively treating mild to moderate alignment issues with fewer office visits required.
LightForce Orthodontics
LightForce utilizes 3D-printed ceramic brackets for customized orthodontic treatment. This technology enables precise tooth movement with reduced treatment duration. The system's tailored approach minimizes discomfort through gradual force application while maintaining bracket durability and aesthetic appeal for modern orthodontic care.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combining orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery, we address severe bite issues and facial imbalances. Our coordinated approach with oral surgeons ensures optimal dental and skeletal alignment for improved functionality and facial aesthetics in complex cases requiring multidisciplinary treatment planning.
Invisalign Teen
Specifically designed for adolescents, Invisalign Teen accommodates growing mouths and active lifestyles. The system includes eruption tabs for developing teeth and offers removable convenience without compromising treatment effectiveness. This solution addresses common teenage dental concerns while maintaining confidence during orthodontic treatment.
