Your Treatment Options
We believe in offering a thoughtfully curated range of treatments so we can recommend the approach that's truly right for you — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces have come a long way. Today's brackets are smaller, sleeker, and designed with your comfort in mind. Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Chen use advanced bracket systems and custom archwires to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions with remarkable precision. For patients with complex alignment needs, metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable paths to a smile you'll love.
Key Benefits
- Ideal for even the most complex alignment cases
- Smaller, sleeker brackets designed for comfort
- A reliable and affordable path to beautiful results
- Personalized colored bands to express your style
- Trusted by orthodontists worldwide for decades
Ceramic Clear Braces
Ceramic braces give you the reliable, precise results of traditional braces with a subtler appearance. The tooth-colored brackets blend seamlessly with your teeth, so you can feel confident in photos, at work, and in everyday life throughout your treatment. Dr. Chen often recommends ceramic braces for adults and teens who value aesthetics without compromising on results.
Key Benefits
- Virtually invisible tooth-colored brackets
- The same precision and reliability as traditional braces
- Stain-resistant materials that stay clear
- A popular choice for professionals and adults
- Smooth, low-profile design for everyday comfort
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of custom-crafted, virtually invisible trays to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat what you love, brush and floss normally, and enjoy life without interruption. During your consultation, we'll use advanced 3D imaging to show you a preview of your projected results before treatment even begins.
Key Benefits
- Virtually invisible — most people won't even notice
- Remove to eat, brush, and enjoy life without restrictions
- See your projected results before treatment begins
- Fewer office visits fit easily into busy schedules
- Smooth, comfortable plastic with no brackets or wires
- Personalized 3D treatment planning for predictable results
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-crafted brackets that attach to the back of your teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. This is the ideal solution for patients who want the precision and power of traditional braces with zero visible hardware. Dr. Vasquez custom-fits each bracket to the unique contours of your teeth for a comfortable, effective treatment experience.
Key Benefits
- Completely invisible from the front — truly hidden
- Custom-fit to the unique shape of each tooth
- Effective for a wide range of orthodontic cases
- Perfect for professionals, performers, and public speakers
- All the precision of traditional braces, none of the visibility
Early Orthodontics
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7, and for good reason. Early orthodontic treatment — sometimes called Phase I — works with your child's natural growth to gently guide jaw development, correct harmful habits, and create space for permanent teeth to come in properly. Dr. Vasquez takes a thoughtful, conservative approach, only recommending early treatment when it will make a meaningful difference for your child's long-term oral health and confidence.
Key Benefits
- Guides healthy jaw development during natural growth
- Can prevent more extensive treatment later
- Gently corrects habits like thumb-sucking
- Creates room for permanent teeth to emerge properly
- Gives your child a head start on a confident smile
Surgical Orthodontics
When jaw discrepancies go beyond what braces or aligners can address on their own, surgical orthodontics combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to restore both function and facial harmony. We understand how deeply these issues can affect daily life — from eating to speaking to self-confidence. Dr. Chen works closely with experienced oral surgeons to create a comprehensive, coordinated plan so you feel supported and informed at every stage.
Key Benefits
- Corrects significant jaw misalignment and skeletal discrepancies
- Restores facial symmetry and balanced proportions
- Resolves bite issues that orthodontics alone cannot address
- Comprehensive 3D imaging for precise surgical planning
- Coordinated care with trusted oral surgery partners
Retainers & Aftercare
Completing active treatment is a moment worth celebrating — and your retainer is what keeps that celebration going for years to come. We offer both fixed and removable retainer options, each custom-fitted for comfort and effectiveness. Our aftercare program includes regular check-ins to make sure your teeth stay exactly where they belong, so the smile you worked for is the smile you keep.
Key Benefits
- Custom-fitted for a comfortable, secure hold
- Fixed and removable options to suit your lifestyle

- Easy replacement retainers whenever you need them
