Our Orthodontic Services
Our Practice Offers A Variety Of Orthodontic Services To Meet Your
Individual Needs, Including Your Lifestyle Habits And Desired Outcome
Choosing orthodontic treatment can significantly enhance your smile, oral health, and self-confidence. For patients with narrow upper jaws or insufficient space for teeth, palatal expanders may be the ideal choice to create space and promote proper jaw alignment. However, every patient’s needs are unique, and suitability varies. For cases involving misalignment issues, such as overbites, underbites, crooked teeth, or overcrowding, traditional braces offer an effective solution. Whether your needs are related to jaw development or tooth alignment, our orthodontist is dedicated to providing quality care to help you achieve a smile you'll love.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners provide a discreet, removable way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Custom-made trays gradually shift teeth into place, making treatment comfortable and convenient. Ideal for mild to moderate misalignment, they allow you to eat and brush without restrictions.
Metal Braces
Traditional braces use metal wires and brackets to shift teeth into proper alignment. Over the course of your treatment, we regularly perform adjustments at our office. During these visits, we tighten the wires, which cause your teeth to move into the next phase of alignment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a translucent, tooth-colored alternative to traditional metal braces. They are used to correct the same dental issues as metal braces and clear aligners, which include overbites, underbites, crooked or crowded teeth, crossbites, and mismatched dental midlines.
Retainers
Uneven or shifting teeth can impact your smile and confidence, and many patients worry about how to maintain their results after orthodontic treatment. If you're looking to preserve your newly straightened smile, retainers are essential for keeping your teeth in alignment.
Palatal Expanders
A narrow upper jaw or misaligned bite can impact your smile and comfort. Many patients, especially children, may need treatments to support jaw development. Palatal expanders offer an effective, non-invasive treatment to create space and improve bite alignment for healthier jaw growth.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small, minimally invasive implants placed in the jaw to provide stable anchor points for orthodontic treatment. They enhance the precision of tooth movement, reduce reliance on traditional braces, and improve treatment efficiency with less discomfort.
Space Maintainers
Early tooth loss can disrupt the path to a beautifully aligned smile, causing neighboring teeth to shift into empty spaces. In these cases, a space maintainer can hold the space open for adult teeth to come in properly, guiding your child’s smile toward healthy alignment from the start.
Oral Surgery
When an orthodontist mentions “oral surgery,” many patients begin to panic. Most patients think that there is something seriously wrong with them, or that they are going to be undergoing a dangerous, painful, and expensive procedure. The truth is, however, that many oral surgery procedures are commonplace.
