Our Orthodontic Solutions

Traditional Metal Braces

Dentists have used metal braces to treat orthodontic issues for years thanks to their reliable and versatile design. Modern braces are sleeker than traditional designs and are ideal solutions for patients of all ages. Using archwires and individual brackets, braces gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Patients with more severe orthodontic issues may benefit from metal braces.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is an innovative orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth without sacrificing your smile’s appearance. These discreet clear aligners are removable for your convenience and don’t require special care or maintenance. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, thin appliances that can straighten your teeth in half the time as braces.
