Services
Braces
Traditional metal, clear ceramic, and self-ligating braces correct tooth alignment and bite issues for patients of all ages. Our customized treatment plans address both aesthetic concerns and functional dental health. With regular adjustments every six weeks, most patients complete treatment within two years while experiencing improved oral functionality and confidence-boosting results.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent thermoplastic trays to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This discreet option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives, with treatment durations ranging from 12 months for comprehensive cases to three months for limited corrections while maintaining proper bite alignment.
Comprehensive Treatment
Complete bite correction and teeth alignment solutions address skeletal discrepancies and dental misalignments. Combining braces or Invisalign with retention protocols, our two-year average treatment duration delivers lasting improvements in oral health, chewing functionality, and facial aesthetics through personalized, phased orthodontic interventions.
Early Treatment
Interceptive orthodontics for children aged 7-8 corrects developing jaw issues and creates space for permanent teeth. Using partial braces and expanders, this 9-18 month treatment prevents future extractions or surgery while guiding proper facial development and establishing optimal dental arch relationships.
Surgical Orthodontics
Corrective jaw surgery combined with orthodontic treatment addresses severe skeletal discrepancies affecting bite function and facial symmetry. Our collaborative approach with oral surgeons realigns jaws to improve chewing efficiency, speech patterns, and sleep apnea symptoms while achieving balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial proportions.
