Retention
When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
Introducing Invisalign® and OrthoClear — The Straightest Way to a Great Smile
Invisalign and OrthoClear straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.
Clearly Different
Invisalign combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if aligners treatment is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, these companies use advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners. Each aligner is worn for about 2-3 weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually -- week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!

Many of our patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign.
