Our Services

We offer a variety of orthodontic services, including traditional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Shift Clear Aligners. Each type of treatment is designed to meet the unique needs of our patients and help them achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

Traditional braces are the most widely used type of fixed orthodontic treatment appliance. They include a metal band or bracket around the molars and metal brackets on all the teeth in front of the molars. These brackets are placed on the front surface of each tooth, and metal wires are placed in these brackets, connecting the teeth and making each tooth move into a more aligned and ideal position. Traditional braces are worn for a period of time, typically lasting 18-30 months.

Ceramic braces are similar to traditional braces but offer a more esthetic appearance. The brackets on the front teeth are made out of ceramic, which is white in color. While ceramic brackets can break more easily than metal brackets and may be more challenging to remove, they are still a popular choice for those looking for a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option.

Lingual braces have been used in orthodontics for approximately 30 years. They do not usually use a metal band around the molars but still utilize a metal wire to connect the teeth. Each lingual bracket is custom-made to fit each individual's own unique tooth shape. Lingual braces are almost invisible and offer an effective treatment option for those who do not want others to see any braces on the fronts of their teeth.

Shift Clear Aligners are a series of clear plastic-like retainers that must be worn 22-24 hours a day to be effective. They are a popular choice for those looking for a comfortable and esthetic orthodontic treatment option. However, they are only meant for minor tooth movements and are not suitable for more difficult cases.
