Traditional Silver
These are the most common type of braces. Made of nickel-free high-grade steel, they are much smaller and more comfortable than those in the past. We offer a variety of colored elastics which are changed at every appointment.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen® is the clear way for teens to have their teeth straightened without metal braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means that your teeth can be straightened without anyone knowing. You can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth, and there are no wires, metal, or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
However, not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign Teen. It may not be suited to younger patients due to the increased risk of aligner loss and lack of compliance with wear. Excellent oral hygiene and compliance with the wear of the aligners is a must in order for this treatment to be successful.

Patient Testimonials
Everyone at your office is very friendly and professional, caring and understanding. Your work to accommodate children with special needs is highly commendable and appreciated tremendously.
Andrew K.Dr. Cortez is amazing! His gentle nature makes going to the dentist a joy for both of our kids! The dental hygienists are quick and efficient with cleanings, so the kids are finished before even thinking about it. The office staff is amazing as well!
Isabella L.Dr. Sanchez is a superb dentist who took the time to explain to my child exactly what she needed to do to maintain acceptable oral health. Words from a caring professional work better than ‘nagging’ from mom! Thank you!
