OUR SERVICES
Alpine Orthodontics offers cutting-edge procedures to ensure the best possible results for our patients.
Traditional Braces
Yup. They look like the good old braces from years ago, but even our traditional braces utilize the most advanced technology and science to give you the most efficient, yet cost effective smile.
Tooth Colored Braces
If metal braces could marry a chameleon, their baby would be this. Our tooth colored braces look like conventional brackets, but they blend into the tooth like a chameleon. They give you the best esthetics with the shortest possible time in treatment. Get in, look good, be done.
Invasalign & Clear Aligners
Imagine moving teeth with clear plastic aligners. No metal, no poky wire, and still a great smile to show-off at the end. Think about it!
TMJ Evaluation
TMWhat? TMJ is the joint that helps you chew. If you are experiencing pain or hear clicking sounds there, or get headaches or neck pain, your dental alignment and TMJ may need a professional evaluation. We can do that.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical? Yes, we said it. Its very uncommon, but sometimes, the only way to get things right requires surgery. We do all we can to help you avoid, and get the best results if you must. You’re in good hand.
Advanced Imaging
If a picture is worth a thousand words, whats a 3D image worth? We use the highest technology to minimize bad stuff like radiation and over-extended treatment times. Our fancy Cone Beam Xrays and no radiation 3D imaging is there if you need it.
