Key services provided by Bruce Orthodontics include:
Traditional Metal Braces: A highly effective and continuously improving method for straightening teeth, available with colored elastic options for a personalized touch.
Clear/Ceramic Braces: A more discreet alternative to metal braces, made from clear materials, often preferred by older teenagers and adults for cosmetic reasons.
Invisalign/Clear Aligners: A series of invisible, removable acrylic trays that gradually straighten teeth, offering a comfortable and less noticeable treatment option.
Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery): For severe cases involving bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, or malocclusion that cannot be fully corrected with orthodontics alone. This is performed in conjunction with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
TMJ Treatment and Splint Therapy: Addressing issues related to the temporomandibular joint for patients experiencing pain or discomfort in their jaw.
Spacers and Expanders: Used to create necessary space for teeth, particularly in children, to guide proper tooth eruption and alignment.
