Dr. Carney utilizes 3D intraoral scans to design each patients trays, which are custom-made by 3M. We instruct on proper use, supervise progress, and provide replacements throughout treatment. This process ensures safe, efficient teeth movement, making it an excellent alternative to traditional braces.Braces for Kids

I was in town for a week and forgot my rubber bands. Ohlenfrost was the only office that would connect with my ortho and get me bands. They have the right heart and common sense to treat people. Also, thanks linda in the front.
