Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, changing them gradually to shift teeth into proper alignment. This option suits teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic correction without traditional braces.
Braces
Traditional metal braces and ceramic Clarity braces correct misalignment through brackets and wires. Metal braces offer durability while clear options provide subtlety, both requiring periodic adjustments to guide teeth into optimal positions over 18-24 months.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance addresses protruding upper teeth by encouraging lower jaw development. This fixed device helps correct bite issues in growing patients, typically worn for 12-15 months alongside other orthodontic treatments.
iTero Scanner
Our iTero Digital Scanner creates 3D mouth maps without messy impressions. This technology enables precise treatment planning for Invisalign and appliances, improving diagnostic accuracy while enhancing patient comfort during initial consultations.
Adult Orthodontics
We specialize in adult orthodontic solutions addressing alignment concerns and oral health issues. Treatment options include discreet braces and aligners designed to fit professional lifestyles while improving both smile aesthetics and functional dental health.
