Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-quality brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Our modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever, with options for colored elastics to personalize treatment. This proven method effectively addresses complex orthodontic cases while maintaining cost-effectiveness for patients seeking reliable results.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, BPA-free plastic trays. These virtually invisible aligners gradually shift teeth into proper position through a series of planned adjustments. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions without compromising treatment effectiveness or comfort.
Gold Braces
Gold-colored braces provide a distinctive alternative to traditional metal braces while maintaining similar treatment effectiveness. The golden hue creates a subtle contrast against teeth, offering patients a stylish option that still delivers precise tooth movement and bite correction capabilities for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
3D Imaging
Our Cone Beam 3D imaging and iTero digital scanning systems create detailed three-dimensional models of dental structures without traditional impressions. This technology enables more accurate treatment planning, reduces appointment times, and allows patients to visualize their expected treatment outcomes before beginning orthodontic care.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics combines braces with jaw surgery to correct severe bite issues and facial imbalances. This comprehensive approach addresses both dental alignment and skeletal discrepancies, improving function and facial aesthetics for patients with complex orthodontic needs requiring multidisciplinary treatment planning.
