Invisalign®

Did you know all Invisalign® providers are ranked differently based on the number of patients they have treated using Invisalign® as the treatment method? Dr. Zach, Dr. Alex and Dr. Joe have proven to be among the most experienced and successful orthodontists using Invisalign® as the tool to move teeth where they need to be! They have treated over 3,000 patients using Invisalign® (and thousands more in braces) over the years.

As Invisalign® (and Align Technologies®) improve their technology and product, Dr. Zach, Dr. Alex, and Dr. Joe continue to take the time to learn how to best use this modality to provide comfortable, efficient treatment for patients of all ages.

They confidently prescribe Invisalign® treatment for over 80% of our patients, of all ages and abilities. If you've previously been told Invisalign® can't be used to correct your smile, we would like to invite you in for a complimentary consultation. Patients who think they are "too old" or "too young" or "too far" - think again! Smiles of all ages can benefit from the convenience and comfort of Invisalign® treatment directed by Dr. Zach and Dr. Alex!

No referral is required for a complimentary consultation - we will not bill you or your insurance for this first visit!

Braces

When patients typically think of orthodontic treatment, their first thoughts may be of traditional metal braces - the original orthodontic treatment method! Thankfully, significant advancements in orthodontic treatment have been made since the first metal braces in the 1800's! Still effective, metal (or ceramic) brackets are adhered to the tooth's surface and a wire is placed in the brackets. Pressure from the combination of bracket and wire encourages teeth to move along the shape of the wire and the teeth gradually move through the jaw bone over a number of months into their ideal position.

Dr. Zach, Dr. Alex, and Dr. Joe typically offer patients the option of braces or Invisalign® - and the cost is the same in our office regardless of treatment method. The most important thing to remember is that in our office, the end result from our board-certified orthodontists will be the same whether you are treated with braces or Invisalign®.

Early & Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation and orthodontic screening by age 7 to identify any opportunities for early interceptive treatment and to establish a baseline for growth and future treatment.

TMJ / TMD

Orthodontic treatment can relieve symptoms of TMJ / TMD. No referral is required and in addition to orthodontic treatment, patients may benefit from physical therapy. In our practice we often refer our patients to a local PT group who is wonderful in providing relief to patients suffering from TMJ / TMD symptoms. Adult orthodontics is more common than you might think. Treating or relieving jaw pain and discomfort is just one of the many benefits our adult patients can expect.
