Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct dental alignment issues through durable stainless steel brackets and wires. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, gaps, and bite problems. Regular adjustments ensure gradual tooth movement, with average treatment times of 18-22 months. This solution suits patients seeking reliable, cost-effective orthodontic care.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to straighten teeth without traditional brackets. Custom 3D imaging creates sequential aligners worn 22 hours daily. Treatment averages 9-15 months with 18-30 aligner sets. Ideal for patients wanting discreet correction of mild to moderate alignment issues while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer aesthetic treatment with tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural smiles. Effective for correcting alignment issues in older teens and adults, these braces require careful maintenance due to their fragility. Treatment combines cosmetic benefits with traditional braces' effectiveness, typically lasting 12-24 months depending on complexity.
Orthodontic Consultations
Complimentary consultations include digital X-rays, oral scans, and personalized treatment recommendations. Our orthodontists assess dental development, discuss smile goals, and determine optimal treatment timing. This service helps patients understand available options, costs, and expected outcomes before beginning any orthodontic treatment.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces removal. We provide both removable and fixed retainer options with detailed care instructions. Long-term retention guidance ensures lasting results, with follow-up appointments to monitor stability and address any post-treatment concerns that may arise.
