Orthodontic treatment is a great way to improve the alignment of your teeth while enhancing both your oral health and confidence. Our practice offers a range of options to help patients achieve a beautifully aligned smile, including Invisalign®, Invisalign Teen, metal braces, ceramic braces, retainers, and palatal expanders. Whether you’re starting your orthodontic journey or maintaining your results after treatment, we provide personalized solutions to fit your needs and lifestyle.
Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen offer a modern, discreet solution for straightening your teeth without the need for traditional braces. These clear aligners are custom-made to gradually and comfortably move your teeth into proper alignment. They are removable, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease. Patients love Invisalign for its comfort, convenience, and nearly invisible appearance.
To stay on track with your treatment, aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours per day. Treatment timelines vary based on the complexity of your case, but most patients see results within about a year. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients, featuring built-in wear indicators to help ensure compliance and effective results.
Metal braces are a time-tested and highly effective solution for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Made from durable stainless steel, these braces use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into alignment. Modern metal braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever, making them a reliable choice for patients of all ages. They are especially beneficial for complex cases where precise control over tooth movement is needed.
Ceramic braces offer the same effectiveness as metal braces but with a more discreet appearance. The brackets are made from tooth-colored or clear materials, making them less noticeable while still providing strong and reliable alignment correction. Ceramic braces are a popular choice for older teens and adults who want a more subtle alternative to traditional metal braces. While they function similarly, they require careful maintenance to prevent staining and ensure the best results.
Retainers are essential for maintaining your beautiful smile after orthodontic treatment. These devices prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring that your alignment remains intact. We provide custom-made retainers designed for comfort and durability. Wearing your retainer as instructed is especially important during the first few months after treatment, and over time, use can typically be reduced to nighttime wear or a few times per week.
Palatal expanders are used to create additional space in the upper jaw by gradually widening the palate. This treatment is often recommended for younger patients to correct crowding, improve bite alignment, and aid in the proper development of the jaw. By expanding the palate early, future orthodontic treatments can be more effective and may even prevent the need for extractions. Treatment with a palatal expander is painless and works over time with small daily adjustments.
No matter your orthodontic needs, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile. Whether you are considering Invisalign, braces, or retainers, we will guide you through every step of your treatment.
