Early treatment, also known as Phase I, typically begins between the ages of 7 and 10 and focuses on correcting jaw growth, bite alignment, or crowding before all adult teeth have erupted. This approach can simplify later treatment or sometimes eliminate the need for it.
Adolescent treatment usually begins once most permanent teeth have erupted, between ages of 11 and 16. At this stage, we can more easily correct bite issues and misaligned teeth. With options like clear braces and Invisalign®, teens can feel confident throughout the process.
We provide a variety of orthodontic braces options to suit different needs and lifestyles, including:
Each option is tailored to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. The aligners are removable, making eating and oral hygiene more convenient.
After treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as instructed is crucial to prevent your teeth from shifting back.
