Services
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for discreet orthodontic correction. They use low-profile brackets to minimize discomfort and speech interference while providing precise tooth movement. Ideal for patients seeking aesthetic solutions without compromising treatment effectiveness, especially when Invisalign isn't suitable.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets. Patients wear each set 20-22 hours daily, changing aligners every 4-6 weeks. This method allows unrestricted eating and easy oral hygiene while achieving gradual, comfortable results.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use specialized clips to reduce friction and treatment time by up to six months. They require fewer adjustments, cause less discomfort, and create fuller smiles through light, biologically-sensible forces without extracting healthy teeth.
Orthopedic Appliances
Orthopedic appliances correct jaw alignment and prevent tooth extraction in children. Devices like the Bionator and Twin Block utilize natural muscle movements to guide jaw development, improving bite relationships and facial profiles during critical growth periods.
Pediatric Dentistry
We specialize in early orthodontic intervention for children aged 6-12. Our approach focuses on intercepting bite problems, reducing crowding, and guiding jaw development to minimize future treatment needs while maintaining natural tooth alignment.
