Treatments

Whatever your or your child’s age is, we’ve got you covered!

Children

Orthodontic treatment should begin sooner rather than later; therefore, it is recommended that children go to their first orthodontist appointment at the age of seven. This will allow us to monitor their dental development as they grow, ensuring that treatment begins at the right time.

Teen

For teens, the idea of braces can be frightening. Fortunately, technology has advanced in recent years, and today’s braces come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. Braces nowadays are more comfortable, discreet, and stylish than ever to minimize any concerns or discomfort you may have.

Adult

Braces aren’t just for kids and teens either! More and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment now that discreet treatment options are widely available. Traditionally, braces are metal, but modern technology offers more discreet, clear options as well.

We provide many different types of braces!

Traditional

Traditional braces are a popular choice for both orthodontists and patients. They straighten crowded or crooked teeth, help with misaligned bites, facilitate the treatment of jaw problems, and assist in the elimination of speech difficulties.

Self-ligating

Self-ligating braces are placed much like traditional braces. However, this treatment option does not utilize elastic or metal ties. Instead, self-ligating braces use special brackets that help move your teeth into the desired position.

SureSmile®

SureSmile® allows for a treatment time that is over 30% faster than that of conventional braces. After Dr. Marcel and Dr. Faldu customize your smile design, your wires are bent by a precision machine to increase accuracy and overall comfort.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a preferred choice for many patients looking to keep their dental work discreet. Since they’re virtually invisible, nobody will know that you are wearing them. The aligners are removable, so you can live your life without limitations.

Invisalign® allows you to live freely without having to deal with brackets and inconvenient wires. For best results, your custom aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. However, they must be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
