Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of invisible, removable trays to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. Ideal for patients seeking discreet orthodontic treatment, this option allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with 18-30 aligner sets.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces employ high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to correct tooth alignment. Available with colored elastics for customization, this proven method effectively addresses complex orthodontic issues through controlled, gradual tooth movement.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. This approach improves chewing, speaking, and breathing while enhancing facial aesthetics. Pre-surgical orthodontics typically lasts 6-18 months followed by post-surgical fine-tuning.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics guides facial growth and jaw development in children. Specialized appliances address skeletal discrepancies alongside tooth alignment, creating optimal facial harmony and functional bite relationships through coordinated orthodontic and growth management techniques.
Teen Orthodontics
Teen orthodontics addresses unique challenges during facial development years. Treatment options include removable clear aligners and durable braces designed for active lifestyles, with specialized care for growth-related bite issues and self-esteem considerations during critical social development stages.
