Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-designed for each patient, these aligners address issues like crooked teeth, overbites, and gaps. The treatment typically lasts 6-36 months, with aligners worn 20-22 hours daily. Patients appreciate the ability to eat freely and maintain oral hygiene easily while undergoing treatment.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces effectively correct tooth misalignment and bite issues. Treatment duration ranges from 12-24 months, with regular adjustments every 4-8 weeks. Our practice offers both standard and self-ligating braces, with options for colored or clear brackets to suit patient preferences while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses orthodontic issues in two stages. Phase one (ages 6-10) guides jaw development, while phase two (after permanent teeth erupt) completes alignment. It helps prevent future complications and may reduce the need for tooth extractions or surgery through early intervention.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide urgent care for orthodontic issues like broken brackets, poking wires, or loose appliances. Our team offers immediate solutions to relieve discomfort and maintain treatment progress. Patients receive guidance on temporary fixes while awaiting emergency appointments.
Orthodontic Appliances
Custom orthodontic appliances address specific treatment needs. This includes palatal expanders for jaw alignment, Herbst appliances for bite correction, and retainers to maintain results. Each appliance is tailored to the patient's unique requirements for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
