Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7 and above addresses developmental issues like crossbites and crowding. Our approach focuses on guiding jaw growth and creating space for permanent teeth. This phase typically lasts 12-18 months and establishes a foundation for comprehensive treatment.
Adolescent Treatment
Comprehensive braces treatment for teenagers corrects alignment issues and bite problems. We use traditional metal braces and modern clear bracket systems to achieve optimal tooth positioning. Treatment duration averages 18-24 months with regular adjustments every 6-8 weeks.
Adult Treatment
Specialized treatment plans for adult patients address orthodontic needs while considering existing dental work and periodontal health. Options include traditional braces and clear aligner therapy to correct misalignment and improve facial aesthetics.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made, removable aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Using 3D imaging technology, we create sequential aligner trays that gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Retention
Custom retention solutions maintain treatment results after braces removal. We provide fixed and removable retainers with personalized wear schedules to prevent tooth movement and ensure long-term stability of your corrected smile.
