Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain the most effective solution for complex orthodontic issues. Our modern designs feature smaller brackets and advanced archwires for greater comfort and faster treatment. This system precisely aligns teeth and corrects bite issues through periodic adjustments. Ideal for patients requiring significant tooth movement, this proven method delivers reliable results for children, teens, and adults seeking lasting oral health improvements.
Clear Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable trays. This treatment gradually shifts teeth into proper position while allowing unrestricted eating and oral hygiene. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks before progressing to the next stage. Perfect for adults and responsible teens who prioritize aesthetics, this option combines convenience with effective results for mild to moderate alignment issues.
Lingual Braces
Incognito lingual braces provide a completely invisible orthodontic solution mounted behind the teeth. Custom-fabricated brackets ensure precise tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic appeal. This option suits professionals and image-conscious patients requiring comprehensive treatment without visible hardware. While offering similar effectiveness to traditional braces, lingual systems require specialized training and adaptation to minor speech adjustments during treatment.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics combines pre-surgical alignment with jaw repositioning procedures for severe skeletal discrepancies. This multidisciplinary approach corrects functional issues like improper bites and TMJ disorders while improving facial symmetry. Typically recommended for adults with completed jaw growth, treatment involves coordinated care between orthodontists and oral surgeons to achieve optimal structural and aesthetic outcomes.
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders correct narrow upper jaws in growing children through gradual bone separation. This orthopedic appliance creates additional space for permanent teeth eruption, reducing crowding and improving breathing patterns. Most effective when used during early development stages, the treatment typically lasts 3-6 months followed by a stabilization period to maintain achieved expansion.
