Braces

Metal braces are the classic choice for a reason—they're durable, efficient, and ideal for treating all types of alignment concerns. Modern versions are smaller, more comfortable, and even customizable with fun colored bands.

Clear braces work just like metal ones, but use tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a more low-key look. They're a great option for anyone who wants the power of braces without the full metal appearance.

Gold braces bring a bold twist to traditional orthodontics with their sleek, warm finish. They function the same as metal braces but offer a unique, stylish option that stands out in all the right ways.

Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible while still delivering powerful results. This hidden solution is perfect if you want comprehensive treatment without changing your look.

Clear Aligners

Looking for a discreet, flexible way to straighten your teeth? Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible solution that fits your lifestyle. They're removable, comfortable, and custom-designed to move your teeth step by step—without brackets or wires.

Dr. Mihai uses advanced digital scanners and planning software to map out your perfect smile from start to finish. With no food restrictions and easy cleaning, aligners are a great option for anyone who wants a convenient, effective path to a confident smile.

Surgical Orthodontics

For patients with severe jaw misalignment or complex bite issues, surgical orthodontics or orthognathic surgery can help correct the foundation of your smile. This treatment combines braces or aligners with jaw surgery to improve both function and facial balance.

Dr. Mihai works closely with trusted oral surgeons to coordinate your care from start to finish. With personalized planning and advanced technology, we ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.

Retainers

Retainers play a key role in keeping your smile straight after treatment. Whether you've had braces or clear aligners, they help prevent teeth from shifting back over time. We'll help you choose between fixed (a.k.a. “permanent”) or removable (clear or Hawley) retainers based on your lifestyle and needs.

We will guide you through how and when to wear your retainer to get the best long-term results. With proper care, your retainers will help protect the investment you've made in your smile for years to come.

Care for All Ages

The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) recommends each child to have their first Orthodontic consult by age 7 to catch potential issues before they become more serious. We guide jaw development, help permanent teeth come in properly, and build the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. If no treatment is needed, we’ll simply monitor their growth until the time is right.

The teen years are the perfect time to align teeth and bites as the jaws are still developing. We offer a range of options—including metal braces, clear braces, and aligners—to fit both lifestyle and goals. Our treatments are designed to be effective, comfortable, and confidence-boosting.

It’s never too late to invest in your smile. Whether you're fixing minor crowding or taking on more complex issues, we’ll find the right solution to help you smile with confidence at any age. Flexible treatment options mean you can keep up with life while transforming your smile.

Tech for Next-Level Smiles

Say goodbye to goopy impressions. Our digital scanner creates a quick, accurate 3D image of your teeth, helping us plan your treatment with precision and comfort.

With low-radiation 3D imaging, CBCT lets us see more than just teeth—it shows roots, airways, and jaw structures for safer, smarter orthodontic planning.

From diagnostics to treatment planning, everything we do is powered by digital technology. It means faster appointments, better accuracy, and a more seamless experience for you.
