Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces straighten teeth using brackets and wires. Ideal for correcting complex alignment issues and bite problems. Patients benefit from durable, cost-effective treatment with predictable results over 18-30 months.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to gradually shift teeth. Suitable for mild to moderate alignment issues. Offers discreet treatment with fewer office visits and easier oral hygiene maintenance.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses jaw development and tooth alignment in children aged 7-10. First phase creates space for permanent teeth, second phase completes alignment during adolescence for lasting results.
Diode Laser Treatment
Diode laser treatment reshapes gum tissue to improve smile aesthetics and bracket placement. Minimally invasive procedure with faster healing, no needles required, and enhanced visibility for precise orthodontic adjustments.
iTero Digital Scanning
iTero creates precise digital impressions in minutes without messy molds. Improves treatment planning accuracy and patient comfort while enabling real-time visualization of expected outcomes during Invisalign consultations.
