Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This treatment is ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, allowing better oral hygiene during treatment.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile brackets use self-ligating technology to move teeth more efficiently with less friction. This system reduces treatment time and discomfort while achieving precise tooth positioning and improved facial aesthetics.
Two-Phase Treatment
This approach addresses jaw irregularities and bite issues in children aged 7-9, followed by comprehensive alignment during adolescence. Early intervention prevents future extractions and creates optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption.
Orthodontic Retention
Post-braces care involves custom retainers to maintain teeth alignment. We offer removable and fixed options, with instructions for proper wear and care to ensure long-lasting results after orthodontic treatment.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate solutions for broken wires, loose brackets, and severe discomfort. Patients receive guidance for temporary fixes and priority scheduling for urgent issues affecting treatment progress or comfort.
