Metal Braces

Metal braces are a fast and reliable option for correctly aligning and straightening your teeth. Our traditional braces are strong and durable, and are made with quality, USA titanium.

During your first visit for metal braces, we’ll start with a free consultation, examination and X-rays. Our Orthodontist will expertly evaluate the current state of your teeth and determine the best orthodontic treatment plan for your teeth. After the examination, we will carefully affix high-quality brackets onto your teeth. Once your braces are in place, we’ll have you come back to the office periodically so we can make adjustments and ensure that your teeth are straightening correctly.

Metal braces are a popular choice for straightening your teeth, and are able to correct even severe cases of tooth overcrowding. Traditional braces are also affordable, strong and durable. Braces can be customized to your personality and taste with many different color options for brackets and elastics.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® braces straighten your teeth with the use of high-quality, custom made clear plastic trays. Invisalign® clear braces gently shift your teeth over time, and are virtually Invisible® during treatment.

When you come in to start your Invisalign® treatment, we’ll first perform a free examination, and take X-rays so we can determine the current placement of your teeth. Our Orthodontist will then use state-of-the-art technology to take precise impressions of your mouth in order to create your customized Invisalign® trays. During your treatment process, we will bring you back in the office every few weeks to assess your progress and to issue the next tray for your stage in treatment.

Invisalign® clear braces are a comfortable and natural looking way to straighten your teeth, without the appearance of wires and brackets. Invisalign® trays can also be removed when needed, so you can still brush and floss like normal. Invisalign® clear braces are a popular choice for both adults and teens, and will help you achieve a beautiful smile!

Retainers

Your teeth straightening treatment is complete when you receive your own customized retainer. Our orthodontic retainers effectively maintain the straightness of your teeth, in a way that is convenient for you.

After your braces are removed, we will create your removable and personalized retainer. Dr. Barkhordar will give you specific instructions on how to correctly care for your retainer, including when to wear it and how to clean it. We will also have you come back to our office periodically so we can check on your teeth placement and make sure your retainer still feels comfortable.

Orthodontic retainers provide affordable and necessary orthodontic maintenance for your teeth. They are also easily removable, so you can continue eating your favorite foods without any discomfort. We also want all our patients to love not only the feel of their retainer but also the look, which is why we offer a large variety of unique colors and patterns to choose from. You won’t believe how easy our retainers make it for you to keep your teeth straight!
