Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Treatment duration averages 12 months, with aligners swapped weekly. No food restrictions and easier oral hygiene compared to fixed braces.
Braces
Metal, ceramic, or lingual braces correct complex misalignments through precise tooth movement. Treatment lasts 1-3 years depending on case severity. Options include colorful elastic ties for a personalized look. Effective for patients of all ages.
Orthognathic Surgery
Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment addresses severe jaw discrepancies. Corrects functional issues like improper bites and enhances facial aesthetics. Requires collaboration with oral surgeons. Typical cases include underbites, overbites, and open bites.
Digital Impressions
Itero digital scanners create precise 3D images of teeth for treatment planning. Eliminates traditional putty impressions, offering faster, more comfortable results. Enhances accuracy for Invisalign and custom appliance fabrication.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Specialized care for children aged 7+, focusing on interceptive treatments. Addresses issues like crowding, spacing, and jaw growth. Early intervention often prevents more complex procedures later, promoting proper dental development and facial symmetry.
