Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces offer effective tooth alignment for complex cases. Our advanced bracket systems ensure precise movement while minimizing discomfort. Patients benefit from periodic adjustments and modern materials that accelerate treatment, achieving optimal bite correction and aesthetic improvements for both children and adults requiring comprehensive orthodontic solutions.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet teeth straightening through custom-made, removable aligners. This technology appeals to professionals and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Treatment involves sequential aligner changes that gradually reposition teeth without metal hardware, allowing unrestricted eating and oral hygiene maintenance throughout the process.
3M Clarity Aligners
3M Clarity Aligners offer another clear orthodontic solution with enhanced durability and precision. Utilizing digital scanning technology, these aligners provide comfortable fit and virtually invisible correction for mild to moderate alignment issues. Patients appreciate the convenience of removable trays combined with advanced materials that maintain clarity throughout treatment duration.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw discrepancies and complex malocclusions unresponsive to conventional braces. This specialized treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics with post-surgical realignment, delivering both functional improvements and facial symmetry. Patients receive coordinated care between orthodontists and oral surgeons to achieve comprehensive dental-facial balance.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding facial growth patterns in children alongside tooth movement. Specialized appliances help correct skeletal imbalances during developmental years, preventing future complications. Early intervention can create adequate space for permanent teeth eruption while promoting optimal jaw relationships and airway development.
