Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using SmartTrack material, these removable aligners gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment typically requires 20-22 hours daily wear with weekly aligner changes, offering faster results than conventional methods while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces utilize high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires for effective tooth movement. Available with customizable colored elastics, this proven treatment option efficiently corrects complex alignment issues while offering durability and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative systems.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Phase One treatment addresses jaw development and bite issues in children aged 7-9. Using expanders and partial braces, we guide jaw growth to create proper space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and preventing extraction needs.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatment plans address adult orthodontic needs, including correcting previous treatment relapse, managing periodontal considerations, and achieving aesthetic improvements. Options include discreet lingual braces and clear aligner therapy tailored to professional lifestyles.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe skeletal discrepancies, combined orthodontic and surgical treatment corrects functional issues and improves facial aesthetics. This coordinated approach addresses complex bite problems and jaw alignment concerns that cannot be resolved with braces alone.
