Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Using custom 3D-printed trays, this treatment gradually shifts teeth into optimal alignment without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for children, teens, and adults seeking aesthetic solutions, Invisalign combines comfort with advanced technology for efficient, nearly invisible orthodontic care.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces provide reliable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and heat-activated wires for enhanced comfort and faster results. This proven method remains the preferred choice for complex cases requiring precise tooth movement and long-term stability.
iTero Digital Impressions
iTero digital impressions replace messy putty molds with precise, comfortable 3D imaging technology. This FDA-cleared system captures detailed oral anatomy in minutes, enabling accurate treatment planning and virtual smile previews. Patients benefit from reduced appointment time and immediate visualization of potential treatment outcomes through advanced digital modeling.
Palatal Expander
Palatal expanders correct narrow upper jaws by gradually widening the palate to create proper space for teeth alignment. This orthopedic appliance addresses crossbites and crowding issues in growing patients, often eliminating the need for tooth extractions. Early intervention with expanders can significantly reduce future orthodontic treatment complexity.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics combines braces with corrective jaw surgery to address severe skeletal discrepancies affecting bite and facial symmetry. This comprehensive approach treats complex cases involving misaligned jaws, facial trauma, or developmental abnormalities. Coordinated care between orthodontists and oral surgeons ensures optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for improved chewing, speech, and facial harmony.
