Why Choose Orthodontics?
Orthodontics addresses issues such as crooked, overcrowded teeth, and jaw misalignment. These treatments enhance your smile and contribute to better oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of decay or gum disease.
Metal Braces

- Features: High-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires apply gentle pressure to move teeth effectively. They can also address complex cases, such as jaw alignment and spacing issues.
Damon Brackets
- Benefits: Unlike traditional braces, Damon brackets use gentle forces to preserve gum and tooth health. They help create a broader smile, improve facial profiles, and may give a more youthful appearance.
- Efficiency: Faster treatment times and fewer dental visits compared to conventional braces.
Ceramic Braces
- Discreet Design: Made from tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces blend with your natural teeth.
- Ideal For: Teens and adults who want effective treatment with less noticeable braces.
- Considerations: Require meticulous oral hygiene to prevent staining and are slightly more brittle than metal braces.

Our Treatments
Who can have clear aligners
As we’ll discuss in our initial consultation to ensure that you are qualified, but most patients for all ages are. There really is no age limit as to whether you can straighten your smile with clear aligners.
Who can have this treatment?
Patients who have dental implants, bridges or TMJ disorder may not be the best candidates for Clear aligners. If your teeth are on the smaller side or they’re misshapen or eroded, Clear Aligners may not be practical.
Is Clear Aligners treatment actually faster vs traditional braces?
In short; the answer is yes. While traditional metal braces require somewhere between 18 and 24+ months, the average length of treatment with Clear Aligners is 12 months. However, the time needed to deliver the results you desire largely depends on how complex the treatment plan is.
I heard that Clear Aligners can ruin my teeth, is this true?
Clear aligners has to cause a cellular response in the roots of the teeth in order to let them move. On rare occasions if you do not follow proper instructions of your dentist, it is possible for the cellular response to damage the ends of the roots of the teeth.
