Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. This system employs SmartTrack material for comfortable, precise tooth movement. Patients appreciate the virtually invisible appearance and convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning. The treatment includes regular checkups every six weeks with customized aligner changes typically weekly.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to metal braces using tooth-colored brackets. This treatment combines traditional orthodontic effectiveness with aesthetic appeal. The clear brackets blend with natural tooth color while maintaining durability. Ideal for patients seeking less visible orthodontic treatment while achieving precise tooth alignment.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses severe bite issues and jaw misalignment. This treatment combines orthodontics with surgical procedures to improve function and appearance. Patients experience improved chewing, speaking, and facial symmetry. The surgical approach requires coordinated planning between orthodontists and oral surgeons for optimal outcomes.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children with developing jaws. The first phase guides jaw growth before all permanent teeth erupt. The second phase focuses on tooth alignment once most permanent teeth have emerged. This approach can prevent more complex issues and improve long-term results.
Digital Scanning
Digital scanning replaces traditional impression materials with iTero Element technology. This system creates precise 3D images of teeth and gums for accurate treatment planning. Patients benefit from faster, more comfortable diagnostics with immediate visualization of potential treatment outcomes. The technology enhances precision in aligner and appliance fabrication.
