Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our Diamond+ status ensures access to advanced techniques and exclusive support. Patients benefit from removable trays that allow normal eating and cleaning routines while achieving results in as little as six months.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces offer reliable tooth movement with smaller, more comfortable brackets than ever before. Customizable with colorful bands, these braces effectively correct complex alignment issues and bite problems. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs while maintaining optimal oral health.
Retain My Smile Program
Our retainer program ensures lasting results after orthodontic treatment. Patients receive durable, affordable retainers with replacement options to maintain proper tooth alignment. The program emphasizes long-term smile stability through proper retention techniques and regular follow-up care.
Same-Day Braces
Same-day braces provide immediate treatment initiation for qualified patients. This efficient option combines diagnostic evaluation and appliance placement in one visit. Ideal for adults and teens seeking rapid start to their orthodontic journey without compromising treatment quality.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Specialized orthodontic appliances address sleep apnea and breathing disorders. Custom-fitted oral devices reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. This non-invasive treatment improves sleep quality and reduces associated health risks through personalized airway management.

OMG!! Connie just called my sister and I had to report this. DONT GO HERE! SO GHETTO and unprofessional. The doctor threaten to drop my niece cause she didn't floss to his liking. How DARE they shame a kid who is a new patient then the same day have this piece of work Connie Vega call (who was on speaker so I heard everything just now) and rudely state how this is her last attempt to collect or else she's being sent to collections. I thought she was calling to apologize for the doctors behavior but that's giving them too much credit. First off let the account be late ONE month at

If you're looking for a nice doctor and staff...keep looking. There's much better options in a cleaner office.

I went to a couple of places before deciding to come here for my son's braces. Dr. Yabar spent time explaining the treatment plan and answering all of my questions. Rosario was great walking us through our options and the process was so easy I decided to get braces myself and they did it them the same day! Highly recommend!

I am a patient at Image orthodontics. The people there are so kind! I love the Dr he is so amazing with me and makes me feel safe when I'm there. I got braces here and I'm seeing fast results I really recommended image orthodontics! But if you are getting braces depending on your insurance and it doesn't cover what you're getting.. Luckily you get really amazing results!

I was told "i don't know why you have been waiting an hour let me call the PT coordinator" then the nice receptionist spent 30 minutes calling and trying to find this lady with no luck at all and was told to just keep waiting after an hour and a half. I don't know who the pt coordinator is but
