Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-crafted orthodontic appliances placed behind teeth for discreet alignment. Using advanced SureSmile Lingual and Incognito systems, we create personalized treatment plans that maintain aesthetics while correcting bite issues. These metal braces utilize 3D imaging and robotic wire technology to reduce treatment time by up to 40% compared to traditional methods, making them ideal for professionals and musicians seeking invisible correction.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a removable, nearly invisible alternative to metal braces. Through sequential trays made with SmartTrack material, we address crowding, gaps, and bite issues with precision. Patients benefit from weekly aligner changes and 3D treatment simulations that show progress from start to finish. This technology allows for easier oral hygiene maintenance and dietary freedom while achieving results comparable to traditional braces in 6-24 months.
LightForce Orthodontics
LightForce uses 3D-printed ceramic brackets and customized treatment software for precise tooth movement. By eliminating traditional wire bending, this system reduces adjustment appointments by 30% while improving force distribution. The digital workflow creates accurate treatment plans with fewer unexpected corrections needed, making complex cases more predictable and reducing average treatment duration by 20% compared to conventional methods.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ disorder treatment combines orthodontic correction with functional jaw alignment. Using SureSmile technology and customized bite analysis, we address malocclusion-related pain through non-surgical interventions. Patients experience reduced headaches and facial pain through tailored treatment plans that correct both aesthetics and functional issues, often avoiding the need for invasive procedures.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized adult treatment options include lingual braces, clear aligners, and hybrid systems for discreet correction. We address age-related concerns like tooth wear and gum health while achieving aesthetic improvements. With experience treating patients over 60, our approach balances cosmetic goals with long-term oral health maintenance, ensuring stable results that accommodate existing dental work.
