Services
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses significant issues before full braces. This 12-month treatment prevents severe problems, improves self-esteem, and creates optimal conditions for future dental development using specialized appliances.
Invisalign
Customizable clear aligner system for adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. These removable trays gradually reposition teeth without traditional braces, offering aesthetic benefits and convenience while maintaining oral hygiene routines.
Orthognathic Surgery
Surgical correction of jaw abnormalities improves both function and facial aesthetics. Combined with orthodontics, this treatment addresses chewing difficulties, speech issues, and sleep apnea while enhancing facial symmetry through computer-guided planning.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium fixtures integrated into jawbone. This treatment restores missing teeth functionality and aesthetics, requiring 3-8 months for full integration with bone structure and subsequent crown placement.
TADs Anchorage
Mini-screw devices provide fixed points for precise tooth movement without headgear. These biocompatible titanium anchors enable complex movements in cases with missing teeth or challenging alignments, typically removed after treatment completion.
