Services
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-quality stainless steel brackets and archwires to effectively straighten teeth. This treatment applies consistent pressure to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Our smaller, flatter brackets improve comfort while maintaining efficiency for patients seeking durable orthodontic solutions.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made SmartTrack material aligners to discreetly straighten teeth. These removable trays offer comfort and convenience while treating conditions like crowding and spacing. Weekly aligner changes accelerate treatment, with results visible through precise digital planning using iTero scanning technology.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw misalignment when braces alone aren't sufficient. This treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics with post-surgical fine-tuning to achieve proper jaw positioning and functional bite correction for lasting facial harmony and oral health improvements.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses jaw development in children before all permanent teeth erupt. Phase one creates proper space for adult teeth, while phase two ensures final tooth positioning. Early intervention prevents future extractions and promotes stable, lifelong smile alignment through comprehensive developmental monitoring.
Digital Scanning Services
Our iTero Element scanner creates precise 3D digital impressions for accurate treatment planning. This technology eliminates traditional putty impressions, offering faster, more comfortable diagnostics while enabling virtual smile previews and customized aligner fabrication for enhanced treatment outcomes.
