CHILDREN

Our early orthodontic treatment for children helps address dental issues before they become more complex. Phase I treatment, typically for ages 6 to 10, can guide jaw growth and ensure proper spacing for permanent teeth. Using options like Invisalign First or braces, we correct bite issues, misalignment, or crowding early on. By intervening at this stage, we reduce the need for extensive treatment later, supporting a well-aligned, healthy smile for the future.

TEENS

We provide Invisalign, teen, and traditional braces as effective options for teenagers. Invisalign is a nearly invisible, comfortable solution with clear aligners, perfect for active lifestyles. For those who need or prefer traditional methods, metal or clear braces effectively correct misalignments and crowding. We work with each teen to choose the best option for a healthy, aligned smile that lasts a lifetime.

ADULTS

Adults seeking a straighter smile, Invisalign and braces provide flexible, effective solutions to align with your lifestyle. Orthodontic treatment can address issues like bite misalignment and spacing, which not only improves oral health but also boosts confidence. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and easily removable, ideal for busy adults seeking discretion. Whether you choose Invisalign or modern, comfortable braces, our team will create a treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.
