Invisalign treatment
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets. This treatment corrects gaps, overcrowding, and bite issues while maintaining aesthetics. Patients receive multiple aligner sets that gradually shift teeth into proper position. The removable design allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces effectively correct complex orthodontic issues. Brackets bonded to teeth connect with archwires that apply continuous pressure to move teeth. Regular adjustments ensure proper alignment progression. Ceramic options offer less visibility while maintaining treatment effectiveness for severe cases.
Teeth whitening
GLO Science and Zoom! systems provide professional teeth whitening solutions. In-office treatments deliver immediate results using light-activated gel formulas. Custom take-home trays allow gradual whitening with dentist-prescribed concentrations. These methods safely remove surface stains and deep discoloration for lasting brightness.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. Fixed options use bonded wires for permanent stability, while removable retainers allow easy cleaning. Proper retention prevents teeth from shifting back to original positions, preserving treatment outcomes through natural bone remodeling processes.
Palatal expander
Palatal expanders widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites and create space for crowded teeth. This orthopedic appliance gradually expands the jawbone through nightly adjustments. Most effective during childhood growth phases, it improves breathing and dental alignment without tooth extraction.
