These innovative solutions enhance treatment efficiency while prioritizing comfort and aesthetics. Drs. Hugh and Stephanie Phillis are committed to working with you to determine the best option for achieving your smile goals.

Self-Ligating Metal Braces

We use 3M Self-Ligating Metal Braces, which feature tiny nickel-titanium clips that securely hold the wires in place for more efficient tooth movement. These advanced braces allow for faster treatment times and fewer adjustments, giving you a more comfortable experience. With their streamlined design, these braces provide improved results in less time, allowing for a quicker path to your perfect smile.

Clear Braces

For a more discreet option, 3M Clarity Advanced Braces offer an excellent solution. Made from stain-resistant, advanced polycrystalline alumina (PCA), they combine great aesthetics with superior functionality. These braces are designed to blend with your natural smile, offering a smooth and efficient treatment process while ensuring durability and comfort throughout your orthodontic journey.

Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners offer a comfortable and nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. 3M Clarity Aligners are designed for easy removal when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. This treatment uses a series of custom aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place, providing an efficient and smooth process. Backed by cutting-edge technology, 3M Clarity Aligners ensure excellent performance for optimal results.
