Our Expertise
Invisalign
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic system that gently repositions teeth through a series of comfortable clear aligners. Ideal for teen and adult patients, these no-metal braces treat conditions ranging from simple to complex. Invisalign corrects common orthodontic concerns like overbite, cross bite, underbite and open bite. Learn More…
Braces
Traditional dental braces have been around since the 1800s. However, the system continues to evolve and improve with each passing decade. With this time-tested solution, metal brackets are bonded to the teeth. These brackets support an archwire that applies gentle pressure to move teeth into ideal positioning.
Orthodontics
Children, teens and adult patients are often candidate for orthodontics. Braces correct oral concerns ranging from minor to severe, resulting in a straight, even smile. Common problems addressed by orthodontics include crowded or crooked teeth, bite misalignment, jaw problems and gaps between teeth. But wearing braces is about far more than achieving a great smile!
