Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. Ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic treatment, this system allows removable trays for eating and cleaning. Dr. Alborzi's 2,000+ Invisalign cases ensure precise treatment planning for optimal results.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces offer efficient tooth movement through self-ligating Damon systems. Smaller, more comfortable brackets reduce treatment time while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward a properly aligned smile for complex orthodontic cases.
Clear Braces
Clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets for less visible orthodontic treatment. Combining aesthetic appeal with effective tooth movement, these braces suit teens and adults seeking subtle correction. Regular adjustments maintain treatment efficiency while blending with natural teeth.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral appliances address sleep apnea by maintaining open airways during sleep. This non-invasive treatment improves breathing patterns and sleep quality. Dr. Alborzi's expertise ensures comfortable, personalized solutions for patients struggling with sleep disorders.
Orthodontics for All Ages
Comprehensive treatment plans cater to children, teens, and adults. Early intervention guides jaw development in children, while teens benefit from accelerated treatment options. Adults receive discreet solutions like Invisalign, ensuring age-appropriate care for lifelong oral health.
