Ceramic braces offer the benefits of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance, and we offer them with NO UPCHARGE! Ceramics blend in naturally, making them a popular option for teens and adults.
Clarity™ Aligners are currently the most advanced and customizable clear aligner system. They provide Dr. Doug an esthetic and removable way to perfect your smile, with aligners that maintain their clarity more than Invisalign.
InSmile is a custom lingual braces system placed behind your teeth, making them completely invisible. This advanced option is ideal for patients seeking the most invisible treatment without having to wear clear aligners.
