Our Services
At Surf City Smiles, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. Here’s a closer look at the services we provide:
Metal Braces
Go for metal braces if you want a reliable, effective solution. These sturdy stainless steel braces fix many dental issues and get the job done efficiently.
They’re perfect for correcting issues like overcrowding, gaps, and misaligned bites. Plus, they’ve come a long way in terms of comfort and aesthetics, making them a great choice for patients of all ages.

Clear Braces
Prefer a more subtle look? Clear braces use transparent or tooth-colored brackets, so they blend in with your teeth while still providing great results.
These braces are just as effective as metal braces in treating various orthodontic problems, but they offer a more discreet appearance, which can be a big confidence booster during treatment.

Clear Aligners/Invisalign
Want something flexible? Clear aligners like Invisalign are nearly invisible and removable. Enjoy the convenience of taking them out for meals and cleaning while they gently straighten your teeth.
Invisalign is perfect for those who want to maintain a natural look without the brackets and wires. They are custom-made for your teeth and can effectively treat issues like spacing, crowding, and some bite problems.



Advantages of Orthodontics
Orthodontics isn’t just about a pretty smile – it’s about health and confidence at any age:

For Children
Starting early can prevent bigger problems later. Kids benefit from better oral health and a confidence boost with a great smile.
Early treatment can guide proper jaw growth, correct harmful oral habits, and ensure there is enough space for incoming permanent teeth, setting the stage for a healthier smile as they grow.

For Teens
Teens will love the confidence boost and improved oral health. Clear braces and Invisalign offer discreet options that keep them looking and feeling their best.
This is a crucial time for addressing dental issues since the body is still growing, making orthodontic treatment more effective and quicker. Plus, a straight smile can significantly enhance their self-esteem during these formative years.

For Adults
It’s never too late! Adults can fix long-standing issues and improve their oral health and self-confidence with our personalized treatments. Whether it’s correcting a misaligned bite, closing gaps, or straightening crowded teeth, our treatments can improve your overall dental health.
This make it easier to clean your teeth and reducing the risk of dental problems like decay and gum disease. Plus, a beautiful smile can enhance your professional and personal life, giving you the confidence to show it off.
