Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses advanced clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our certified providers create personalized treatment plans using 3D imaging technology for precise tooth movement. Patients benefit from removable, comfortable aligners that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving significant improvements in bite alignment and smile aesthetics.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw abnormalities and bite issues through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics, surgical realignment, and post-operative fine-tuning to achieve optimal facial balance and functional bite correction for improved long-term oral health and aesthetics.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics addresses facial growth and development alongside tooth alignment. Specialized appliances guide jaw growth in children while correcting bite issues. This comprehensive approach creates proper facial proportions and functional occlusion through coordinated orthodontic and orthopedic interventions.
Craniofacial Orthodontics
Craniofacial orthodontics specializes in treating congenital facial deformities like cleft lip and palate. Our specialists coordinate multidisciplinary care with speech pathologists and plastic surgeons to address complex dental, skeletal, and functional challenges through staged treatment plans.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) provide precise tooth movement control during orthodontic treatment. These small implants create fixed points for applying targeted forces, enabling complex movements that traditional braces alone cannot achieve while reducing treatment duration.
