Treatment Options
Traditional Braces
When you hear the word braces, you most likely think of those bulky metal brackets with wires. Our metal braces are now smaller, less noticeable, and just as effective as the older bulkier ones. They’re easier to keep clean and much more comfortable, making them a popular choice for both children and adults.
Clear Brackets
If you’re looking for conventional brackets, we also offer clear brackets that tend to be more popular among our adult patients. These brackets combine traditional orthodontics with discretion, making your orthodontic journey less noticeable.
Clear Aligners - Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made trays to gradually shift your teeth to their ideal positions. These transparent trays fit snugly against your teeth and are removable so you can eat what you want, brush and floss like normal, and keep your trays fresh and clean. We also offer Invisalign Teen, perfect for younger patients who want a discreet treatment option.
Lingual Braces
We can place brace brackets on the inside of your teeth. This method works just as well as conventional braces, is as discreet as clear aligners, and saves the insides of your cheeks from discomfort. Lingual braces are more popular among adults but are also a favorite for teens in sports or bands.
