ORTHODONTICS

Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked, spaced out, or you have occlusion issues, there are multiple treatment options available for you.

Orthodontic care is a specialty of dentistry that involves moving your teeth and jaw into proper alignment. Tooth movement can be accomplished with traditional braces or Invisalign.

dental veneers

Have you dreamed of that beautiful new smile that you can show off to your family and friends? Did you think it wasn’t possible because your teeth are misshapen or discolored?

Well, you can stop dreaming because porcelain veneers for your teeth can make your dreams a reality.

retainers

Keeping your retainers clean is not only hygienic but can ensure your teeth stay straight for years to come.

As mentioned in Healthline not take proper care of your retainer can harbor dangerous bacteria such as Streptococcus.

Although those bacteria are present in the mouth, they can cause serious health concerns if they are present in excess amounts. 

Braces vs. Invisalign

Most patients realize that having straight teeth helps them with their confidence, be more successful, attract a better partner, have them appear more confident, and of course, aid in their oral health. The question isn’t whether to straighten your teeth. Its whether to get a more attractive smile with Invisalign or braces.
