Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, gradually moving them into the desired position.  Traditional braces offer effective results for straightening teeth and improving overall oral health.

Carriere Motion Bars

Motion 3D Appliance is used to correct your bite in 4 to 6 Months. Carriere Motion 3D is a simple way of treating your bite. It’s used at the beginning of treatment—before teeth straightening—so all you’ll have in your mouth for the first 4 to 6 months is this small, comfortable appliance.

 

To limit extractions and to turn difficult Class II patients into simpler Class I patients is a dream come true. With its sleek, aesthetic and non-invasive design, the Motion 3D Class II Correction Appliance provides greater comfort and shortens treatment time by up to four months. Delivering a natural, gentle, and uniform force for distal molar movement with controlled rotation and tipping correction before brackets or other appliances are placed, the Motion 3D Appliance solves complex problems almost effortlessly.

 

Corrects the posterior occlusion to an ideal Class I Platform first by rotating and uprighting the maxillary first molars while distalizing the posterior segment, from canine or premolor to molars, into a perfect occlusion.

Used at the beginning of treatment when there are no competing forces.

Itero Element Intraoral Scanner

The Itero scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. Itero’s technology has helped our office limit the number of impressions taken in the office for Invisalign, retainers, and appliances.

Adult Treatment

Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.

Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.

 

Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.

 

During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.

A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
