Services
Clear Aligners for Adults
Custom-made clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires, using 3D scanning for precision. Patients enjoy dietary freedom and easy oral hygiene. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months, with aligners worn 20-22 hours daily.
Clear Aligners for Children
Early interceptive treatment addresses jaw growth and dental alignment in children aged 6-10. Minimally invasive approach avoids future surgical needs. Aligners are removable, reducing discomfort and dietary restrictions during critical development stages.
TMD Therapy
Specialized orthodontic solutions alleviate temporomandibular joint disorders through bite correction and jaw repositioning. Combines clear aligners with functional appliances to address headaches, jaw pain, and chewing difficulties without invasive procedures.
BioLign Treatment
Proprietary system enables sub-millimetric tooth adjustments with 90% predictability. Utilizes MIAP (Minimally Invasive Alignment Protocol) for efficient movement planning, reducing treatment complexity and chair time while maintaining biological tooth integrity.
Night-Time Aligners
Innovative approach allows select patients to wear aligners exclusively at night. Combines biomechanical expertise with accelerated treatment protocols for cases requiring 6-9 months of active correction without daytime visibility.
