Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to correct misaligned teeth and bites. Ideal for moderate to severe cases, they offer reliable results with modern, smaller designs for comfort. Patients benefit from predictable tooth movement and long-term oral health improvements.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Suitable for adults and teens, this option allows easy maintenance and comfort. Treatment involves periodic aligner changes to gradually achieve desired results without visible hardware.
Functional Appliances
Functional appliances address jaw alignment issues in growing patients. These devices improve facial harmony and bite function by guiding jaw development. Early intervention can reduce future treatment complexity and enhance overall dental health.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early treatment for ages 7+ prevents severe issues through interceptive care. It addresses crowding, spacing, and jaw growth to simplify later treatment. Benefits include improved oral hygiene and reduced need for extractions or surgery.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark aligners offer nearly invisible, stain-resistant trays for discreet tooth movement. Custom-designed for efficiency, they provide comfortable wear with minimal disruption to daily life. Ideal for mild to moderate cases requiring subtle adjustments.

Dr Foot and his team have done an incredible job of making my daughter's beautiful smile, even more beautiful- I didn't think it was possible! We were told by other dentists that our daughter need teeth removed, Dr Foot said it wasn't required and he was right. The service has been friendly and professional at all times, even during Covid closures. Thank you Dr Foot and team, we appreciate you.
