Orthodontics
Don't let crooked or crowded
teeth hide the "real" you. We can straighten
your smile with Invisalign®,
braces, and/or appliances.
The
official site states: Invisalign® can
give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted.
It works through a series of invisible, removable,
and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're
wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as
after.
How
Does Invisalign® Work?
- You wear each set of
aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat,
drink, brush, and floss.
- As you replace each
aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will
move - little by little, week by week - until they have
straightened to the final position your orthodontist or
dentist has prescribed.
- You'll visit the dentist
about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment
is progressing as planned.
- Total treatment time
averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners
worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both
will vary from case to case.

Braces are bonded brackets,
arch wires and elastic bands that move teeth into a normal
position. We offer
metal or clear brackets and colored or clear rubber bands.

Appliances
While most
cases involve braces, many cases also require the use of
appliances prior to the placement of brackets. These
appliances can be used for a variety of reasons:
- arch expansion
- habit correction
- bite modification
- minor tooth movement
