Services
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel for effective tooth alignment. These durable, cost-effective appliances feature smaller brackets and advanced archwires for faster, more comfortable treatment. Ideal for correcting complex bite issues and misalignments in patients of all ages.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth discreetly. This wire-free system gradually shifts teeth through sequential aligner changes, offering convenience for eating and oral hygiene. Perfect for teens and adults seeking nearly invisible orthodontic treatment.
Digital Scanning
Our Itero Scanner creates precise 3D digital impressions without messy putty. This technology provides immediate visualizations of treatment outcomes and ensures accurate appliance fabrication. Patients benefit from faster appointments and enhanced comfort during the diagnostic process.
InBrace
InBrace places braces behind teeth for completely hidden orthodontic treatment. This innovative system uses robotic technology to create customized wires that deliver consistent force for efficient tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic confidence.
Retainers
We provide customized retainers to maintain post-treatment alignment. Options include removable clear retainers and permanent bonded retainers that ensure long-term stability. Our team educates patients on proper care to preserve their newly achieved smiles indefinitely.
