Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This system is ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Our team creates customized treatment plans using advanced 3D imaging technology to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months depending on case complexity.
Braces
We offer comprehensive braces treatment for children, teens, and adults. Options include traditional metal braces and clear ceramic brackets for enhanced aesthetics. Our orthodontists use advanced wire technology to achieve precise tooth movement while minimizing discomfort. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, with regular adjustments ensuring optimal progress toward a straight, functional smile.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialized treatment addresses jaw growth and development issues in growing patients. We use functional appliances to guide proper jaw alignment, creating optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption. Early intervention can prevent more complex issues later, improving both facial aesthetics and bite function through coordinated skeletal development.
TMJ-TMD Treatment
Our practice provides specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders. We develop customized treatment plans to alleviate pain and improve jaw function through orthodontic interventions. This may include bite adjustments, splint therapy, or coordinated care with other specialists to address complex TMJ-related symptoms effectively.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe skeletal discrepancies, we offer combined surgical and orthodontic treatment. This comprehensive approach corrects significant jaw misalignment issues that affect function and appearance. Our team coordinates pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care to achieve optimal bite relationships and facial harmony through carefully planned treatment sequences.
