Orthodontic Treatment Options
Braces
Traditional braces use brackets and archwires to gradually move teeth into better alignment. We offer metal, ceramic, and hybrid treatment options.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made, removable trays that gradually move teeth. Discreet alternative to braces – removable for eating and cleaning.
Angel Aligners
Discreet clear aligner treatment using custom-made aligners and advanced digital treatment planning technology.
Hybrid Braces
Combine traditional braces with clear aligners. Begin with braces and transition to aligners for the finishing stages.
Spring Aligners
Removable orthodontic appliances designed for specific tooth movement types. Our orthodontist will determine if this is right for you.
Early Treatment
Early evaluations help monitor dental development. AAO recommends first evaluation by age 7 to determine best timing for treatment.
TMJ Treatment
Orthodontic care for jaw-related concerns including temporomandibular joint symptoms. Individual evaluation determines treatment approach.
