Treatments at Heart Orthodontics

Early Orthodontic Care & Signs

At Heart Orthodontics, we recommend a first orthodontic checkup by age 7 to guide healthy growth and catch problems early.

Early orthodontic care focuses on guiding jaw growth, breaking habits, and addressing issues that are best treated before age 10.

Watch for prolonged thumb sucking, crowding or spacing, underbites or overbites, jaw shifting, speech issues, snoring, or baby teeth not falling out on time.

Timely evaluation may reduce the need for future surgery, shorten later treatment, and help kids feel comfortable in the orthodontic setting.

Braces: Ceramic, Metal, Lingual

Durable and precise, metal braces use small brackets and wires to move teeth efficiently and are ideal for complex corrections.

For a discreet look, ceramic braces blend with teeth and lingual braces sit behind them—popular choices for adults and professionals under Dr. Li’s care.

ClarityTM Clear Aligners

ClarityTM clear aligners are removable and custom made with 3-D imaging to gently move teeth while letting you eat, brush, and floss as usual.

ClarityTM aligners work for teens and adults alike, helping busy patients stay on track with school, work, sports, and life.

Orthognathic Surgery Overview

For significant jaw discrepancies, we coordinate orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to improve function, balance, and facial harmony.

Our team works closely with trusted surgeons to plan your care with modern techniques for a smooth, well-coordinated experience.

Retainers & Appliances Overview

Keep your smile in place with custom retainers for comfort and long-term stability after braces or aligners.

We offer removable and fixed options, along with space maintainers and other appliances when needed, all made from precise digital scans.

Advanced Technology: 3D Scanning & Propel

We use modern digital tools to improve comfort, precision, and efficiency at every step.

Our 3D intra-oral scanner captures quick, comfortable images without messy impressions and supports accurate planning for retainers, appliances, and aligners.

Propel may help accelerate tooth movement with a minimally invasive, in-office procedure using local anesthetic, so many patients return to routine the same day.

We pair 3-D scanning with ultra-low-dose digital X-rays to plan care with clarity while helping reduce radiation exposure.

Digital Treatment Planning

We leverage state-of-the-art digital tools to enhance precision, comfort, and predictability in every treatment.

Fast, radiation-free scans capture precise 3D images for accurate treatment planning and aligner design.

High-resolution digital radiography delivers detailed imagery with up to 90% less radiation than film.

Advanced software simulates each stage of tooth movement, giving you a virtual preview of your new smile.
