First Visit
Our first visit includes a comprehensive oral examination, x-rays, and personalized treatment planning. Dr. Chisholm reviews medical history, discusses concerns, and outlines financial options. This 40-minute appointment ensures informed decisions and tailored care, setting the foundation for effective orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using removable, custom aligners. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment avoids wires and brackets, allowing flexibility in eating and oral hygiene. We provide 3D treatment planning to visualize results before starting, ensuring predictable outcomes over 12-18 months.
Metal Braces
Metal braces offer durable, efficient correction for complex alignment issues. Modern designs reduce irritation and treatment time, with options for faster results. Suitable for all ages, they provide cost-effective solutions for achieving functional, aesthetic smiles through precise tooth movement.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses jaw growth and spacing issues in children aged 7-8. By guiding skeletal development, we reduce future extractions and surgery needs. This phase optimizes bite alignment and creates space for permanent teeth, enhancing long-term dental health and confidence.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-fitted to the back of teeth for invisible correction. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients, they offer aesthetic benefits without compromising effectiveness. Treatment involves personalized adjustments to achieve precise alignment while maintaining natural appearance.
