Services
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Using Invisalign or Forster Clear Aligners, we treat crowding, spacing, and bite issues for adults and teens. Aligners are virtually invisible and allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Invisalign for Adults
Invisalign treatment for adults provides a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without disrupting daily life. With 20 years of experience, we create tailored plans that fit busy schedules, requiring aligner changes every 1-2 weeks and checkups every 6-8 weeks.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen offers a clear, removable solution for adolescents. Designed to accommodate growing mouths, these aligners include compliance indicators and eruption tabs for developing teeth, allowing teens to maintain confidence during treatment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early interceptive treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10. Using Invisalign First, we guide jaw development and create space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and duration.
Braces
Modern braces provide precise tooth movement for complex cases. We offer metal and ceramic options with advanced archwires for comfort and efficiency, combined with personalized care to achieve optimal alignment and bite correction.
