3D - Technology
Is the most up to date in health care for mutiple reasons.
All x-rays exposed in our office are digital, therefore reducing the amount of radiation you are exposed to by 90% LESS than film x-rays.
3D Imaging gives us more information for more thorough treatment planning. It gives us a better understanding of the relationship of the teeth to each other, the jaws, and joints in relationship to other structures in the the nose and airway.
Just straightening teeth without this understanding may actually make your health worse.

“You helped me with more than my teeth. Thank you.” AC
A variety of treament options
We're aware that every case is unique, which is why we provide a number of treatment options to best suit your particular goals. Our practice specializes in utilizing traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and ClearCorrect clear aligners (Invisalign type) to design your beautiful smile. In addition, our office utilizes Apnodent sleep appliance therapy in combination with orthodontic tooth alignment for those with mild to moderate sleep apnea or patients who have tried and failed at wearing CPAP.
Patient Testimonial: "I'm very glad I started treatment with you. This sleep appliance is much easier to wear than my old one."
Yes! And the side effect of shifting teeth from the old appliance is improving. Patients must meet certain criteria to be eligible for this treatment option.
Your safety is important to us
Your well being and safety is our priority. We rigorously maintain an extensive sterilization protocol that exceeds OSHA's standards to ensure that you are protected. It doesn't stop there. In addition, we will provide you with shades during each procedure to protect your eyes, we use infection control barriers on all our chairs, and even have a state-of-the-art air purifier to purify the air you breath in our office.
