Invisalign clear aligners is a tool that Dr. Albert uses to correct a variety of orthodontic problems. It is important to choose a provider that is skilled and experienced with clear aligners, such as Invisalign, as results will vary between each doctor. It is the doctor who treats you, not Invisalign, much like a doctor treats you with braces, not the company who manufactures them. Get the smile you’ve always dreamed of, discreetly.

Traditional braces are a mainstay in orthodontics. Brackets are bonded to each tooth and specialized wires are tied into the brackets. It is the wires that move your teeth. We start out with thin, flexible wires and gradually increase to thicker, more rigid wires. Each set of wires will move your teeth closer to the desired final position. Colored ties are a fun way to change your look at each visit!

Not all braces are created equal. We use high quality braces that deliver consistent results. The advantages of braces include less patient compliance, customization, and the ability to treat the most complex of situations. We offer both clear and metal braces to suit your needs. Let’s work together to achieve your smile goals!

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends your child get their first check-up by age 7. By this time, your child should have a mix of adult and baby teeth, which makes it an ideal time to evaluate if any orthodontic problems are developing. We can also detect if your child has any extra or missing adult teeth. Not all patients require early orthodontic treatment, but if a problem is detected and treated early, it can avoid more problems later on.

Common problems that are corrected early include:

1. Severe crowding
2. Narrow jaws
3. Crossbites
4. Underbites
5. Severe overbites
6. Space loss from early exfoliation of baby teeth
7. Habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, etc.)

These remarkable orthodontic appliances play a vital role in preserving space for developing adult teeth. When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, Space Maintainers step in to maintain the correct spacing. This prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap and maintains the pathway for the eruption of underlying permanent teeth, thus reducing the need for more extensive treatments later on. With Space Maintainers, you can rest assured that your child's oral health is in safe hands, setting the stage for a lifetime of confident smiles.

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are a revolutionary innovation in orthodontics. TADs help to achieve results, where in the past, surgery or extensive restorative work was the only option. While the majority of patients do not require TADs, some can greatly benefit from them. TADs are particularly helpful in correcting open bites and closing spaces from missing adult teeth, avoiding the need for more invasive procedures such as surgery, bridges, or implants, saving you time and money. With TADs, orthodontic treatments become faster, more predictable, and offers remarkable results, giving patients more reasons to smile confidently.
