Services
Braces
Custom metal or ceramic braces use 3D technology for precise tooth alignment. These durable solutions address complex issues like overcrowding and bite misalignment while minimizing discomfort. Patients appreciate the reduced treatment time and discreet design options available for both children and adults seeking effective orthodontic correction.
Invisalign
Invisalign and Angel Aligners offer nearly invisible, removable solutions for straightening teeth. These custom-fitted trays provide comfort and convenience while effectively correcting bite issues and misalignment. The treatment includes remote monitoring through our Dental Monitoring app for fewer office visits.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses jaw development and space management. This proactive approach prevents severe issues, reduces future treatment complexity, and promotes proper facial growth. Includes habit correction appliances and partial braces when needed.
Orthognathic Surgery
Collaborative jaw surgery treatments correct severe bite issues and facial imbalances. Combined with orthodontics, this solution improves chewing function, alleviates TMJ pain, and enhances facial symmetry for patients with skeletal discrepancies affecting their bite and appearance.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Specialized orthodontic interventions address sleep-disordered breathing in children. Treatments like rapid maxillary expansion improve airway development while correcting dental alignment. Our team works with medical specialists to create comprehensive solutions for better sleep and overall health.
