Services
Braces
Our metal braces system combines brackets, wires, and elastics to precisely align teeth. Regular adjustments apply controlled pressure for gradual tooth movement. This treatment addresses complex dental misalignments, bite issues, and spacing problems, providing durable and predictable results with proven orthodontic effectiveness.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks to progressively shift teeth into proper position. This removable system offers aesthetic advantages while effectively correcting mild to moderate alignment issues and bite irregularities.
Early Treatment
We provide interceptive orthodontic care for children aged 7-11 to address developing dental issues. This phase focuses on creating proper space for permanent teeth, correcting jaw growth imbalances, and eliminating harmful oral habits, potentially reducing future treatment complexity.
Adult Treatment
Our adult orthodontic solutions address misalignment in fully developed dental structures. Treatment considers unique adult needs like existing dental work, gum health, and aesthetic preferences, using specialized approaches to achieve optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Retainers
We provide customized retention solutions following active treatment to maintain corrected tooth positions. Our retainers ensure long-term stability of orthodontic results by preventing relapse, available in both removable and fixed options tailored to patients' needs.
