Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Custom-fitted trays gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires, ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months. Our team ensures precise fit and progress monitoring for optimal results.
Metal Braces
Durable metal braces remain the most effective solution for complex orthodontic cases. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and lighter wires for enhanced comfort. Treatment duration varies from 18-30 months depending on severity, with regular adjustments ensuring steady progress. We provide color customization options to make the experience more engaging for younger patients.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces attach to the back of teeth for completely invisible correction. Custom-crafted brackets and wires address moderate to severe misalignment while maintaining aesthetics. Treatment requires specialized training and typically lasts 24-36 months. Patients benefit from discreet correction without compromising on effectiveness for complex cases.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combines orthodontic treatment with jaw surgery to correct severe bite issues and facial imbalances. Pre-surgical braces align teeth for 12-18 months before surgical repositioning of jaws. Post-surgery orthodontics refines bite for 6-12 months. This comprehensive approach improves both function and facial aesthetics for long-term oral health.
Hybrid Treatment
Hybrid treatment combines braces for major tooth movement with clear aligners for final precision. Braces address complex bite issues and severe misalignment, while aligners complete minor adjustments. This approach reduces total brace wear time by 30-50%, offering efficiency and aesthetics. Customized plans maximize benefits of both technologies for optimal outcomes.
