Services
Orthodontic Braces
Traditional metal and clear braces correct dental misalignment through precision bracket placement and archwire adjustments. Our practice offers customizable options including colored elastics for personalization. Treatment duration varies between 12-30 months depending on individual needs and patient compliance with care instructions.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses a series of removable, transparent aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This option suits active lifestyles with its convenience and aesthetic appeal. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with aligner changes every two weeks during regular checkups.
TADs Placement
Temporary anchorage devices provide precise tooth movement control for complex cases. These small titanium anchors enable more efficient treatment with reduced discomfort. Placement and removal are quick procedures performed under local anesthesia during regular office visits.
Palatal Expansion
Palatal expanders create proper dental arch development for improved bite alignment. This early intervention treatment benefits children and teens by preventing future extraction needs. Regular adjustments are made during monthly office visits to ensure optimal progress.
Emergency Orthodontics
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues including broken brackets, wire irritation, and appliance damage. Emergency appointments are prioritized to minimize treatment disruption. Patients receive care instructions for managing common issues between scheduled visits.
