Treatment Options
Early Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children get an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7 to check the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. If early treatment is indicated this is known as Phase I treatment.
Adult Treatment
Whether you have never had orthodontic treatment or have had some movement since your braces came off it's never too late to make a perfect smile. We offer several different cosmetic options.
Metal Braces
3D Scanner
No more goopy impressions. Our Itero intra-oral scanner creates a digital 3D model of your teeth.
Teen Treatment
The ideal age for full orthodontic treatment and bite correction is once the permanent teeth have erupted and growth is not yet complete.
Surgical Orthodontics
Some bites require a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic (jaw) surgery. We work closely with your oral surgeon to give you the best result possible.
Clear Braces
Retention
Retainers are for life. As long as you wear properly fitted retainers, you will have a beautiful smile forever. We offer clear and custom designed retainers.
