Orthodontics

Orthodontics for All Ages

Phase One

Phase One orthodontics helps guide jaw growth and prepare your child's teeth for future alignment. It's ideal for kids around age 7 to prevent more complex issues later on. Early intervention can reduce the need for more extensive treatment later and set up your child for a smoother orthodontic journey.

Teens

Teenagers can benefit from braces to correct alignment issues and improve their bite. We provide a variety of options tailored to each teen's needs, from traditional braces to clear aligners. With modern options that fit their lifestyle, we make sure they feel confident and comfortable while achieving the smile they've always wanted.

Adults

It's never too late to straighten your smile! Whether you need braces or clear aligners, we offer treatments that fit your lifestyle so you can enjoy a confident smile at any age. We also provide discreet and effective options, helping adults achieve the smile they've always wanted without disrupting their daily lives.

Braces

Traditional

Traditional metal braces are the most common and effective way to straighten teeth and correct bite problems. With modern designs, they’re more comfortable than ever, and you can even personalize them with colorful elastics to make your treatment uniquely yours.

Ceramic

Ceramic braces are a great option for those who want the power of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance. The clear or tooth-colored brackets blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them a popular choice for those looking for a more aesthetic option while still providing the same level of effectiveness in straightening your smile.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign® and Spark Clear Aligners, offer a modern, discreet way to straighten teeth without the appearance of metal braces. These clear trays are comfortable, removable, and virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.

With Invisalign® or Spark Clear Aligners, you can enjoy the freedom to eat, brush, and floss as usual without any restrictions. The treatment involves switching to a new set of aligners every few weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions. Dr. Chong will guide you through each step, ensuring your treatment plan is tailored for your best results.

Airway Appliances

Expanders

Palatal expanders are used to widen the upper jaw to improve airflow and correct bite issues caused by a narrow palate. This appliance is especially effective in growing children and helps create more space for teeth to come in correctly, preventing overcrowding and alignment issues in the future.

Twin Block

The Twin Block is a functional appliance designed to correct jaw misalignments by repositioning the lower jaw. It encourages proper jaw growth and helps address overbites, providing a more balanced facial structure and better bite function. It's often used for patients in their growing years to prevent the need for more invasive treatments later on.

MARA

MARA (Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance) is used to treat issues with jaw positioning, particularly overbites. This fixed device helps reposition the lower jaw and improve bite function by applying gentle pressure, aiding in the natural growth and alignment of the teeth and jaw. It's a highly effective solution for correcting jaw discrepancies without the need for complex surgical procedures.

Retainers

After completing your orthodontic treatment, retainers keep your teeth in their new position. Retainers help keep your teeth in their proper position and prevent shifting, ensuring the lasting results of your braces or aligners.

Whether you receive a clear or metal removable retainer, Dr. Chong will provide you with the right option to fit your needs. Wearing your retainer as instructed is key to preserving your beautiful smile and enjoying long-term orthodontic success.

Technology

Intraoral Scanners

Intraoral scanners, such as the Itero, Medit, or Trios, allow us to take digital impressions without the mess or discomfort of traditional molds. This technology creates a precise, 3D map of your teeth and gums, ensuring a more accurate fit for your orthodontic appliances, leading to more precise and faster treatments.

3D Cone-Beam iCAT X-Ray

Our state of the art iCAT FLX machine provides clear, detailed 3D images with significantly less radiation. This allows us to evaluate your teeth, jaw, and joints with high accuracy, plan your treatment confidently, and keep track of your progress more effectively.

Digital Photography

We use digital photography to monitor your progress and capture the details of your smile. These images help us assess treatment outcomes, make adjustments as needed, and ensure you’re on track for the best possible results.
