Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces correct dental misalignment through customized brackets and wires. Ideal for patients of all ages, this treatment improves bite function and enhances smile aesthetics. Our team ensures comfort and provides dietary guidelines to maintain appliance integrity during therapy.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Suitable for teens and adults, this option allows unrestricted eating and oral hygiene. Treatment involves periodic aligner changes, with progress monitored through bi-monthly check-ups to ensure optimal results.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance addresses overbites by guiding lower jaw development in children. Fixed to molars, this non-removable device ensures consistent wear, eliminating compliance issues. Treatment typically lasts 12 months, improving bite alignment and long-term oral health.
Palatal Expander
Palatal expanders widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites and create space for crowded teeth. Commonly used in growing children, this appliance gradually adjusts the jaw structure, often eliminating the need for future tooth extractions or surgery.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) provide precise tooth movement control during orthodontic treatment. These small screws offer stable support for complex corrections, reducing treatment duration and enhancing outcomes for challenging cases.

I just finished my invisalign procedure at Nicolucci, and had a great experience, I'd recommend anyone looking for an orthodontist to check this place out. Dr. Nicolucci is friendly, super professional, and guided me clearly through the process. The staff is friendly, the front desk folks are always very helpful, and the office is incredibly clean.

I took my son there. We were surpriced with the cold of the staff. Dr N was professional. The girl who did the X- ray was cold and unapproachable. At the end of the meeting she asked me ( mother) if I can bring someone next time to help me. I was in wonder why do I need help since I am not a patient. Later I found out that she thinks that I don't understand English so someone needs to translate for me!!! So unpleasant assumption. I don't feel like continuing with them. I'll talk to my dentist
