Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces have been the foundation of orthodontic treatment for decades and for good reason. These durable brackets and wires work together to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, correcting bite issues and spacing concerns.

  • Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before.
  • Customizable options allow children and teens to add a fun pop of color with elastic bands.
  • This treatment is highly effective for complex alignment issues and bite corrections.

Metal braces provide consistent, controlled pressure on teeth, ensuring reliable and predictable results. Our team will guide you through every step, from placement to adjustments, ensuring a smooth and successful treatment experience.

Clear Braces

For those who want the benefits of braces without the noticeable appearance of metal, clear braces offer an excellent alternative. Made from ceramic materials that blend with natural tooth color, clear braces provide a discreet solution while delivering the same level of effectiveness as traditional metal braces.

  • Ideal for older teens and adults who prefer a more subtle look.
  • Strong and durable, designed to handle even complex orthodontic cases.
  • Less noticeable than metal braces but just as effective in aligning teeth.

Clear braces are a fantastic option for individuals looking for a balance between aesthetics and functionality in their orthodontic care.

Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. This modern approach to straightening teeth offers numerous benefits for patients of all ages.

  • Virtually invisible, making it an excellent choice for teens and adults.
  • Removable aligners allow for easier eating, brushing, and flossing.
  • Customized treatment plans ensure precise and efficient results.

With Invisalign, there are no metal brackets or wires to worry about, making it a comfortable and convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. Our team will monitor progress and provide new aligners every few weeks to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Palatal Expander

A palatal expander is a specialized orthodontic device designed to create additional space in a child’s mouth by gradually widening the upper jaw. This treatment is commonly recommended for young patients whose jaws are still developing.

  • Helps prevent crowding and misalignment of permanent teeth.
  • Can improve breathing and overall oral function.
  • Reduces the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.

Palatal expanders are pain-free and work overtime to guide jaw development naturally. Our experts will customize the device to ensure it meets your child’s specific orthodontic needs.

Space Maintainers

When a baby tooth is lost too early, it can lead to shifting and misalignment of the surrounding teeth. Space maintainers are small, custom-made devices designed to hold the open space until the permanent tooth emerges.

  • Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space.
  • Helps maintain proper alignment and bite development.
  • Supports natural tooth eruption and reduces the need for future orthodontic treatment.

Space maintainers are a simple yet effective way to preserve a child’s oral health and ensure a smoother transition into their permanent smile.
