Removable - Invisalign clear aligners can be removed so you can eat or drink anything you want without restriction.

Safety - Contrary to metal braces, Invisalign aligners do not include sharp or protruding edges to scratch the insides of the mouth and gums.

Duration of Treatment - Invisalign treatment can be completed in as little as 12 to 18 months.

Contact our office to schedule your complimentary Invisalign evaluation and find out if you or your child is a candidate for Invisalign.

A child's first visit to the orthodontist should typically be around age 7 to monitor the eruption of the permanent teeth and growth of the jaws.

The goal at this age is not to make the teeth perfectly straight, but rather to ensure that there are no problems in development that may cause irreversible damage if not treated early.

The goal of doing treatment at a young age is to prevent irreversible long term damage. Problems during development may degrade the permanent teeth and gums or promote undesirable skeletal growth deficiencies and asymmetries. Many of these problems may not be readily apparent on the outside, but can be detected and corrected early at the orthodontist.

We do a thorough evaluation at our appointments to ensure that growth is progressing well; A few common issues are pictured here. Dental issues are often overlooked during the window of time that they may be reversible, which can cause larger issues later on. We do not charge for our consultations and would love to meet you! Trust us to monitor your child's growth.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality, personalized care to every patient. We believe that every individual is unique, so why should your orthodontic treatment be any different?

Our clinical practice combines fundamental treatment techniques with new technologies for predictable, excellent results.
