Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable trays to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-designed with iTero 3D technology, treatment durations range from 318 months. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Ocean Orthodontics offers flexible financing to make this advanced option accessible.
Braces for Adults
Specialized braces for adults, including ceramic and metal options. Treatment focuses on correcting alignment issues while accommodating lifestyle needs. With experience since 2003, our specialists ensure efficient, comfortable care tailored to mature oral health requirements.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Recommended by age 7, early assessments identify developmental issues like crowding or bite irregularities. Using iTero scanning, we monitor growth patterns to determine optimal treatment timing, often preventing more complex interventions later.
Angel Aligners
Angel Aligners provide a discreet, removable solution for mild to moderate misalignment. Patients change aligners every two weeks, with progress monitored every eight weeks. Suitable for teens and adults prioritizing convenience and aesthetics.
Digital Treatment Planning
iTero 3D scanning replaces traditional molds, offering precise digital impressions for treatment planning. This technology enables visual simulations of potential outcomes, enhancing patient understanding and confidence in their care journey.
