Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our practice offers customized treatment plans for teens and adults, utilizing 3D imaging technology to map out precise tooth movements. The nearly invisible aligners allow patients to maintain their appearance while achieving optimal dental alignment through this modern alternative to traditional braces.
Braces
We provide both metal and clear braces for comprehensive orthodontic correction. Our treatment options include traditional bracket systems and advanced self-ligating braces that reduce friction and treatment time. Each patient receives personalized care with regular adjustments to ensure proper tooth movement and bite alignment throughout their treatment journey.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile systems use innovative self-ligating technology to straighten teeth more comfortably and efficiently. This bracket system eliminates the need for elastic ties, reducing friction and allowing faster tooth movement. Patients benefit from fewer office visits and potentially shorter treatment durations while achieving excellent aesthetic and functional results.
iTero Digital Scanning
Our iTero Digital Impression System creates precise 3D scans of teeth and gums without traditional putty impressions. This technology provides immediate visual feedback, allowing patients to see their treatment progress and expected outcomes. The digital workflow enhances accuracy for better-fitting appliances and more efficient treatment planning.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We offer prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues like broken brackets, loose wires, or appliance discomfort. Our team provides immediate solutions to alleviate pain and maintain treatment progress. Patients receive guidance on temporary fixes and can schedule emergency appointments to address urgent concerns outside regular visits.
