Services
Clear Aligners
Our in-house clear aligners use advanced 3D printing technology to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-fabricated from high-quality materials, these removable trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks, with treatment duration typically ranging from six months to two years based on case complexity.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Specialized intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses jaw development and bite issues before all permanent teeth erupt. This preventive approach corrects problems like crossbites and crowding, potentially avoiding future extractions or surgery. Treatment utilizes expanders and partial braces to guide proper dental arch growth.
Two-Phase Orthodontics
Sequential treatment combining early intervention with adolescent braces for optimal results. Phase One addresses jaw alignment in childhood, while Phase Two uses full braces after permanent eruption. This approach ensures stable, functional bites and reduces long-term complications through coordinated growth management and tooth positioning.
Digital Scanning
Our radiation-free intraoral scanners create precise digital impressions in 5-10 minutes. This technology eliminates traditional putty impressions, improving patient comfort while generating accurate 3D models for treatment planning. The digital records enable virtual simulations of final tooth positions for better treatment visualization.
Cleft Lip and Palate Care
Specialized orthodontic management for children with craniofacial conditions includes pre-surgical alignment and post-operative care. As part of the Orlando Health Craniofacial Team, we coordinate multidisciplinary treatment to improve function and aesthetics, addressing unique dental development challenges associated with cleft conditions.
