Services
Braces
Traditional metal and clear braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws through precise, gradual adjustments. Our customized treatment plans address individual bite issues and dental arch development needs. With regular adjustments and patient cooperation, braces create lasting improvements in oral function and aesthetic appearance.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This discreet option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives. Our specialists create sequential treatment plans using 3D imaging technology to achieve optimal tooth positioning through progressive aligner changes.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities affecting function and facial appearance. Combined with pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment, this approach improves chewing, speech, and breathing while achieving balanced facial aesthetics through coordinated dental and skeletal adjustments.
Craniofacial Orthodontics
Specialized craniofacial orthodontics addresses birth defects like cleft lip and palate through multidisciplinary care. Our team coordinates with surgeons and specialists to manage dental development, alveolar cleft repair, and orthodontic alignment for comprehensive functional and cosmetic improvements in affected patients.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small titanium implants that provide precise tooth movement control. These biocompatible anchors enable more efficient orthodontic adjustments with reduced treatment time, particularly for complex cases requiring specific tooth positioning without affecting adjacent teeth.
