Braces

We only use the highest quality new orthodontic brackets from 3M Unitek, a brand synonymous with innovation. Our brackets have been polished to smooth, round and smallest possible dimensions for maximum comfort! We also offer the latest Smart Clip™ bracket that uses less force and generate less friction which allows us the ability to move teeth faster with less force.

Ceramic

Our tooth colored brackets, Clarity SL™ are the most innovative, state of the art bracket available today. These hi tec brackets were awarded recently by 3M with the "innovation award" placing these braces in the prestigious innovative catagory with Post-it-Notes™ and Scotch™ tape.

Dr. Miller has assisted in the development of two types of bite correcting devices that correct moderate to severe overbites. The Flip lock™ Herbst appliance corrects severe overbites without the need for headgear and we achieved great success with that device for the past 15 years.  More recently, the Forsus Fred™ appliance is also used in a variety of applications such as the Crossbow™, our replacement for the Herbst appliance.  Dr Miller has worked with Dr. Duncan Higgins, the crossbow™ inventor, improving techniques and applications of this device.  Recent research shows the crossbow achieves the same results as the Herbst device in an average of 4 1/2 months followed by braces for 1-1/2 years.  For more information, visit the crossbow™ website  www.crossboworthodontic.com

Invisalign™

The next generation of Invisalign technology is called Invisalign Teen™ which allows orthodontic treatment without brackets and wires on all patients.   Proprietary manufacturing technology is used to produce a series of aligners that correct mild to moderate orthodontic problems. This technology works well especially when combined with limited fixed appliances at the end for finishing. www.invisalign.com




IBraces­ (Braces on the inside of the teeth) 

Dr. Miller provide the latest in custom braces called IBraces.  These are custom fit brackets that are adapted to each tooth thru the same fabrication process as gold crowns. These are intended for the patients who do not want any braces to show, and for cases too difficult for Invisalign.  This process, popular in Europe, is becoming more popular in the US and are excited about the ability to treat more challenging cases with no braces that show!
