- Dental Examination
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningIt is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care.

- DenturesKeep your retainer clean, too, by brushing it gently with a toothbrush and toothpaste. You may also soak it in denture cleaner as instructed by your orthodontist. Do not put your retainer in boiling water or in the dishwasher.
- Dental ImplantsClear aligner treatment utilizes a series of clear, plastic shells that fit over the teeth and are removable. They do not use brackets, wires, or ligatures to move the teeth into their correct positions. Invisalign can be used for a variety of treatment needs. Great candidates for Invisalign are those who had braces in the past and would like correction of teeth that have shifted, patients who do not have any missing teeth or planning for an implant, and any patient seeking to minor to a full treatment plan.
- Oral SurgeryMost children lose all their baby teeth by age 13, and by the end of their teen years, the jaw bones will harden and stop growing. Orthodontic procedures for adults often take more time and can involve tooth extraction or oral surgery. Receiving early orthodontic treatment as a child can help prevent the need for orthodontics as an adult, leaving little to no chance of extraction or surgery in the future.
- Jaw SurgeryYour orthodontist can tell you if orthognathic surgery is needed as part of your treatment. Depending on the severity of your case and the alignment of your jaw, you may or may not need surgery.
- Maxillofacial SurgerySurgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a type of orthodontic treatment used to correct severe cases that include bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusion. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine recognized dental specialties, and it focuses on treating complex craniofacial cases that involve the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. If you need surgical orthodontics, your orthodontist will work with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to ensure that you receive the best care possible.

- OrthodonticsEveryone here was kind, patient and helpful. I proceeded with orthodontics because I had really crooked teeth and it was necessary for all of my teeth to come in correctly.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign treatment uses a series of clear aligners that incrementally move teeth to the proper position with each new aligner. It can be used to correct many malocclusions, including crowding, gapped teeth, a deep bite, edge-to-edge bite, an open bite, and a narrow arch.
- BracesAs a orthodontic assistant I enjoy seeing our patients beautiful smiles change throughout treatment. As a former patient of Dr. Wong, my experience with braces at the office is what made me want to work in the dental field! I graduated from Pima Medical Institute in 2021 and have been grateful to be working with Dr. Wong and the amazing team members. When I am not at the office I enjoy hiking, painting, traveling, gaming, and visiting art/history museums!
