Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces and clear ceramic options provide effective tooth alignment solutions. Our high-quality stainless steel and titanium brackets offer durability while minimizing discomfort. Treatment involves periodic adjustments to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. We provide comprehensive care for crossbites, crowding, and other alignment issues, with options for tooth-colored wires and elastic bands to enhance aesthetics during treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable trays. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, achieving gradual tooth movement through patented SmartTrack material technology. This treatment addresses gapped teeth, overbites, and other common alignment concerns while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Regular check-ups every 6-10 weeks monitor progress toward desired outcomes.
TMD Treatment
Specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders addresses chronic facial pain and jaw dysfunction. We evaluate symptoms like jaw clicking, headaches, and restricted movement to develop targeted intervention plans. Treatment options may include orthodontic adjustments, oral appliances, or coordinated care with specialists to restore proper jaw function and alleviate discomfort from TMJ-related conditions.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Early intervention for children focuses on guiding facial growth and jaw development to prevent future orthodontic issues. We employ specialized appliances to correct skeletal imbalances and create optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption. This proactive approach often reduces future treatment complexity by addressing developmental concerns during critical growth periods, typically combined with later orthodontic treatment for comprehensive results.
Surgical Orthodontics
Comprehensive treatment for severe jaw irregularities combines pre-surgical orthodontics with post-surgical alignment. Our coordinated approach with oral surgeons addresses complex bite issues and facial asymmetry in adult patients. Treatment involves initial braces placement, surgical jaw repositioning, and final tooth alignment to achieve both functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement for lasting oral health benefits.
