Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-designed clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. These removable, BPA-free plastic trays apply controlled force to shift teeth into proper alignment. The process begins with 3D digital imaging to map out precise tooth movements over the treatment period.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces using tooth-colored ceramic brackets. They work by applying steady pressure through archwires to correct misalignment while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These braces require special care to prevent staining of the elastic ties connecting the brackets.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics addresses jaw growth and facial development in children and adolescents. This specialty treatment uses specialized appliances to guide proper jaw alignment before comprehensive braces. It corrects bite issues caused by disproportionate jaw growth through early intervention strategies.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics treats severe jaw discrepancies that cannot be corrected with braces alone. This coordinated treatment involves pre-surgical orthodontics followed by orthognathic surgery to reposition the jaw bones. It typically addresses functional issues affecting speech, chewing, and sleep breathing patterns.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment combines early childhood orthodontics with comprehensive adolescent treatment. The first phase uses growth appliances to address skeletal issues while preserving permanent tooth eruption space. The second phase focuses on precise tooth positioning after all adult teeth have erupted.
