Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom 3D-printed aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. The virtually invisible system allows for easy removal during meals and oral hygiene routines. Patients receive new aligners weekly for optimal tooth movement.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces offer efficient tooth alignment with smaller, more comfortable brackets. Available in clear and colored elastic options, these braces provide precise control for complex orthodontic cases across all age groups.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10. Phase one creates proper jaw space for permanent teeth, while phase two focuses on final tooth positioning during adolescence.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating systems use sliding mechanisms instead of elastic ties for reduced friction and faster adjustments. These braces require fewer office visits and maintain consistent pressure for efficient tooth movement.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery for severe bite discrepancies. This comprehensive approach addresses functional issues and facial symmetry concerns in adolescent and adult patients.
