Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct misaligned teeth using precision brackets and archwires. Our Damon Braces system employs self-ligating technology for reduced friction and fewer adjustment appointments. This treatment improves bite functionality while creating aesthetically pleasing smiles through gradual tooth movement.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable clear trays to straighten teeth without traditional brackets. The iTero 3D scanner creates precise digital treatment plans, allowing patients to visualize results before starting. Aligners offer discreet correction for teens and adults seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions.
Early Treatment
Phase I treatment addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-11. We utilize palatal expanders and habit appliances to guide jaw growth and create proper space for permanent teeth. Early intervention prevents complex issues and reduces future treatment duration.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties, reducing plaque accumulation and appointment frequency. The system's smaller brackets provide greater comfort while maintaining efficient tooth movement through shape-memory alloy wires.
Clear Aligners
Spark Aligners and Invisalign offer removable, nearly invisible straightening solutions. Patients receive sequential tray sets designed through digital impressions, allowing unrestricted eating and oral hygiene. Treatment duration averages 12-18 months with bi-weekly tray changes.
