Our main line bracket system is The Master Series bracket, manufactured by American Orthodontics®. The company was founded in 1968 and headquartered in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. We utilize this system because American Orthodontics®, as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of orthodontic treatment suppliers, is committed to providing high quality products.
Master Series is a versatile, metal twin bracket system that orthodontists around the world have trusted for more than 25 years. Master Series' patented Diagonal Torque and Diagonal Angulation makes bonding precision simple, delivering exceptional results with fewer wire bends. This is extremely important as the three dimensional control of each tooth allows us to give our patients the smiles they deserve.
The Damon® System brackets are one type of self-ligating brackets “or” tie-less braces that don't need to be "tightened" and are gentle to the teeth and tissues. This system of tooth movement utilizes high-technology, memory-shape wires, and self-ligating braces that are made from the same materials as traditional braces. They do not require the use of elastics, meaning less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place.
Aligners straighten your teeth without wires and brackets, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Combining advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 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.
Each aligner is worn for about two to four weeks for 22+ hours a day and is only taken out to eat, brush, and floss. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time will vary from case to case from about 8-18 months.

Radiance Plus delivers exceptional results with features other cosmetic brackets just can't match. This latest generation of Radiance is stronger and even more dazzling than the previous generation, with enhancements including Visual Placement Aids (VPAs) for bonding precision, and a thicker, stronger tie wing radius.
Hawley retainers are the most common and consist of plastic that adheres to the shape of your soft tissue and teeth. Wires are embedded into the plastic that closely wrap around your teeth, keeping the retainer and your teeth in place. This type of retainer is adjustable and lasts a considerable length of time.
This removable retainer is vacuum formed or “Essix” retainer, made of clear plastic. Some patients prefer this retainer because most people can't tell you're wearing one, and they can generally be fabricated quickly.
This permanent devise consists of wire or small metallic chain, bonded to the back of your teeth to keep them in place. Caution regarding certain foods is necessary and special attention is required to ensure proper hygiene is maintained to prevent decay and periodontitis.
