Orthodontic Retainers
We use a state of the art intraoral scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth, from which our lab fabricates retainers and appliances that help maintain your smile after braces or clear aligner treatment. Wearing retainers as prescribed by Dr. Hack or Dr. O’Leary is crucial to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Keep your beautiful, healthy smile aligned for life!
Early Treatment
Early, or Phase One, treatment focuses on early prevention of jaw and bite issues in children. Following the AAO’s recommendation, we provide orthodontic evaluations for children as young as seven years old to detect and address developmental issues.
