Services
Clear Aligners
Custom plastic trays progressively straighten teeth for mild to moderate crowding. Supervised by orthodontists, aligners require full-time wear except during meals. Bonded engagers may assist complex movements, ensuring precise results while maintaining aesthetics.
Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel brackets with rhodium plating offer strength and esthetic appeal. Designed for all ages, these braces efficiently correct severe misalignments while minimizing discomfort through smooth edges and modern technology.
Clear Braces
Tooth-colored brackets blend with enamel for discreet orthodontic treatment. Patients may choose clear or colorful ties for customization. Stain-resistant and sturdy, they provide an esthetic alternative to metal braces without compromising effectiveness.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Specialized care for children aged 7+ addressing skeletal development, crossbites, and growth modification. Phase One treatment (ages 7-10) prevents severe issues while guiding jaw growth and permanent tooth eruption for optimal alignment.
Functional Therapy
Addresses oral habits, breathing patterns, and muscle imbalances impacting dental alignment. Orthodontic appliances correct tongue ties, constricted palates, and sleep breathing issues, improving both dental health and overall well-being.
