Our Oakland Invisalign solution uses clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their optimal position without wires or brackets commonly used in traditional braces.
Our Oakland SureSmile clear aligners option provides you with Invisalign results in 6 months.
Clearcorrect is an innovative form of orthodontic treatment that works to correct many different types of malocclusions by using a series of clear plastic trays called aligners.
You have options for braces in Oakland. Traditional metal braces are the most common and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using brackets and archwires.
Our Oakland clear braces are more subtle than metal braces because they use brackets made from transparent ceramic that blend in with your natural tooth color.
In Oakland, self-ligating braces are a game-changing innovation revolutionizing how we straighten teeth. Self-ligating brackets allow for cleaner, faster, more comfortable results
Our Oakland orthodontists are trained in early diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea in children to prevent complications that can affect their growth. We can use SomnoDent oral appliances to treat sleep apnea without a CPAP machine.
