Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth. This option allows for easy removal while eating and simplifies oral hygiene, providing a comfortable, flexible approach to treatment.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are placed on the back of the teeth, making them nearly invisible. They are custom-designed for each patient, aligning teeth effectively without being noticeable and providing both aesthetic appeal and efficiency.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most commonly used option for orthodontic care. They are smaller, more comfortable, and made from durable metal alloys. You can customize your braces with colorful elastics for a unique look.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, also known as clear braces, have tooth-colored brackets and wires, offering a discreet treatment option. They effectively align teeth, making them a popular choice for those who want a discreet way to enhance their smile.

Jackie F.

Our first appointment was seamless. I loved the way they treated my child as if she were the most important one there. She was brought in to all conversations even though I was the adult and one making decisions. She was given a tour of the entire office so she didn't have to ask about everything. And her energy was accepted and cherished. I look forward to returning in a few months to potentially begin the braces/expander process.
