Services
Braces
Traditional and modern braces options including metal, ceramic, and LightForce customized braces effectively straighten teeth through gradual alignment. Our practice offers color customization for brackets while utilizing advanced technology to reduce treatment duration. Patients benefit from improved bite function and enhanced facial aesthetics through this time-tested orthodontic solution.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet, removable solution for teeth straightening with minimal impact on daily activities. Custom-made plastic trays apply controlled force to shift teeth gradually, offering aesthetic advantages while maintaining oral hygiene accessibility. This technology suits patients seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers preserve post-treatment alignment through removable and fixed options, ensuring long-term stability of corrected tooth positions. Our practice provides durable acrylic and wire retainers alongside clear aligner-style versions, with specialized programs for replacement and maintenance support.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment corrects severe jaw misalignments and bite issues through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This comprehensive approach addresses functional impairments and facial asymmetry, requiring pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment for optimal outcomes.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Monitoring and intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses developmental jaw issues and bite problems before full permanent dentition. This preventive approach creates optimal conditions for adult teeth eruption while minimizing future extraction needs through guided dental development.
