Traditional Braces

Tried and true, traditional bonded braces have lasted the test of time because they produce predictable and reliable treatment results! While some offices cut corners, at Serene Orthodontics we provide only the highest quality brackets and bonding materials (all USA manufactured) to make sure your treatment goes as smoothly as possible. We offer traditional metal and ceramic brackets for our patients and digital scanning, no more infamous gagging impression material!

Appliance Therapy

Some cases require additional appliances in order to achieve desired treatment outcomes. Palatal Expanders, Fixed Bite Plates, and Growth Modification Appliances (such as Invisalign Mandibular Advancement, Invisalign Expander, Facemask, Forsus etc.), will all be discussed on a case by case basis with patients who would benefit from these services. We offer both fixed and removable appliance options for maximum patient comfort.

Extractions & Orthognathic Surgery

More complex cases require more complex solutions, including but not limited to teeth extractions and possibly orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery) to achieve an ideal bite. While these options may sound daunting, we are here to make your journey as seamless as possible. We work closely with our phenomenal oral surgeon friends to make your treatment go smoothly and comfortably.
