Frequently Asked Questions
What orthodontic treatments do you offer?
We provide a full range of orthodontic treatments, including traditional metal and clear ceramic braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and Smile Express®. We also offer specialized early growth tracking for young children and post-treatment retainers.
What is Smile Express®?
Smile Express® is our orthodontist-guided aligner treatment using Invisalign aligners to achieve a straighter smile in as little as six months. This treatment offers the convenience of at-home care with fewer in-office visits and costs about half the price of traditional treatment. Each plan includes a custom kit delivered to your home, ensuring a safe and professional transformation.
