Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses 3D imaging to create custom clear aligners that gradually correct bite issues and misaligned teeth. This discreet, removable system offers a comfortable alternative to traditional braces, ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces feature self-ligating technology that reduces friction and discomfort while accelerating tooth movement. These braces eliminate the need for elastic ties, allowing faster adjustments and fewer office visits compared to conventional metal braces.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Interceptive orthodontics addresses jaw growth and spacing issues in children aged 7-10. This early intervention creates room for permanent teeth, corrects harmful habits, and improves facial symmetry, reducing the need for extensive treatment later.
Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontics corrects misaligned teeth and bite problems in mature patients. Treatment options include discreet clear braces and Invisalign, focusing on restoring oral health, aesthetics, and function while accommodating busy lifestyles.
Propel V-Pro Device
The Propel V-Pro device speeds up orthodontic treatment by over 50% using gentle micro-pulses. This portable tool enhances bone remodeling, reducing discomfort and treatment time while improving the fit of aligners or braces.
