Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our practice, recognized as a Bay Area Premier Provider, employs advanced 3D imaging to create personalized treatment plans. Patients benefit from virtual progress tracking and predictable outcomes while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines through removable aligners.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile systems utilize tie-less brackets that reduce friction and discomfort during treatment. This technology enables faster tooth movement with fewer adjustments while maintaining precise control over tooth positioning. The system's low-profile design improves oral hygiene access compared to traditional braces.
3D X-rays
Our low-dose 3D imaging technology provides detailed craniofacial analysis while minimizing radiation exposure. The I-CAT flex scanner captures comprehensive anatomical data in 4.8 seconds, enabling precise diagnosis for complex cases involving impactions, joint disorders, or surgical planning without traditional dental impressions.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10. Phase-One treatment corrects skeletal discrepancies before implementing comprehensive adolescent care. Early intervention often prevents future extractions while optimizing facial development and permanent tooth eruption patterns.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt solutions for urgent orthodontic issues including broken appliances, severe discomfort, or trauma. Our team offers immediate guidance via phone consultations and same-day appointments when necessary, with temporary relief measures like wax application or wire repositioning available for after-hours incidents.
