Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Ideal for patients of all ages, this proven method ensures precise tooth movement for optimal function and aesthetics. Our team customizes treatment to address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment, delivering durable results that enhance long-term oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Using 3D imaging, we create a series of custom trays that gently shift teeth into position. This solution suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic improvement without metal brackets, with options like Invisalign Teen accommodating active lifestyles and growth considerations.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 6-10 through early jaw development guidance. Phase one creates space for permanent teeth, while phase two refines alignment. This approach prevents future extractions or surgery, ensuring stable results as children grow into their final smile.
TMJ-TMD Treatment
Our TMJ-TMD treatment alleviates discomfort from temporomandibular joint disorders through customized orthodontic appliances. By realigning the bite and reducing joint strain, we address symptoms like headaches, jaw clicking, and facial pain. Non-invasive solutions improve function and comfort for long-term relief.
Sleep Apnea Solutions
Custom oral appliances treat obstructive sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw to keep airways open during sleep. These non-surgical devices improve breathing patterns, reduce snoring, and enhance sleep quality. We collaborate with sleep specialists to ensure effective, personalized care for better overall health.
