Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use advanced bracket and wire technology to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Our customized systems apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into optimal positions over 18-30 months. This proven treatment effectively addresses complex bite issues while maintaining patient comfort through modern design improvements.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This discreet option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions for mild to moderate alignment issues. The average treatment duration ranges from 12-24 months with bi-weekly aligner changes.
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders correct narrow upper jaws by gradually widening the palate to create proper space for teeth alignment. This orthopedic treatment is most effective in growing patients but can also benefit select adults. The process typically takes 3-6 months followed by retention period to maintain results.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) provide fixed points to precisely control tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. These small titanium screws enable complex movements that traditional braces alone cannot achieve. The minimally invasive placement and removal process enhances treatment efficiency and final outcomes.
iCAT Imaging
i-CAT Cone Beam 3D imaging provides detailed volumetric images of teeth, jaws, and facial structures for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This low-radiation technology captures comprehensive data in a single scan, enabling precise assessment of tooth positions, airway dimensions, and skeletal relationships.
