Services
Invisalign treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. This technology offers faster treatment times with weekly aligner changes and SmartTrack material for improved tooth movement. Patients benefit from virtual invisibility and the ability to maintain normal oral hygiene routines. Clinical studies demonstrate its effectiveness for correcting various bite issues including crowding and spacing.
BRIUS lingual braces
BRIUS is a self-ligating lingual system that moves teeth independently without adjustments. The braces are completely hidden behind teeth while delivering simultaneous multi-dimensional movement. Treatment typically completes in months rather than years with fewer office visits required. Patients maintain normal brushing and flossing routines while achieving precise tooth positioning.
iTero digital scans
iTero technology replaces traditional putty impressions with precise 3D digital scans of teeth and gums. The radiation-free laser captures detailed images in 2-3 minutes, improving treatment accuracy and patient comfort. Digital models enable better treatment planning visualization and reduce manufacturing time for aligners. This technology enhances communication through real-time 3D treatment previews.
Diode laser treatment
Diode laser technology precisely removes excess gum tissue without needles or sutures. This procedure improves bracket placement visibility and accelerates tooth eruption for impacted cases. Aesthetic gingival recontouring creates symmetrical gum lines that enhance smile aesthetics. The minimally invasive approach reduces healing time compared to traditional surgical methods.
Surgical orthodontics
Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment addresses severe jaw discrepancies affecting function and appearance. Pre-surgical orthodontics aligns teeth before corrective jaw surgery, followed by post-operative adjustments. This comprehensive approach improves chewing, speaking, and breathing while creating balanced facial aesthetics. Treatment coordination involves collaboration with oral surgeons for optimal outcomes.
