Orthodontic Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces provide effective tooth alignment solutions for patients of all ages. Metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires with optional colored elastics, while ceramic braces offer tooth-colored materials for discreet treatment. Our practice customizes treatment plans to address crowding, spacing, and bite issues, ensuring optimal dental function and aesthetic improvement through precise orthodontic adjustments.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable acrylic trays to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets or wires. SmartTrack material ensures comfortable wear while SmartForce features enable precise tooth movement control. This solution effectively treats crossbites, crowding, open bites, and gapped teeth, allowing patients to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines during treatment while achieving virtually invisible orthodontic correction.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw misalignments and bite issues unresponsive to conventional orthodontics. Our team coordinates with oral surgeons to realign jaw bones before completing dental adjustments with braces. This comprehensive approach addresses functional problems like speech difficulties and chewing discomfort while improving facial aesthetics and long-term oral health outcomes for adult patients with structural jaw abnormalities.
iTero Digital Scanning
The iTero Element intraoral scanner creates precise 3D digital models of teeth and gums without traditional putty impressions. This technology enables immediate visualization of treatment outcomes through the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, enhances diagnostic accuracy, and streamlines treatment planning. Patients benefit from faster, more comfortable appointments while ensuring optimal fit for braces, aligners, and retainers through advanced digital modeling.
Phase-One Treatment
Phase-One treatment addresses developing orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10 to prevent future complications. Using expanders and partial braces, we guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth eruption. This early intervention improves dental arch development, reduces future treatment complexity, and establishes proper bite relationships, often eliminating the need for tooth extractions in later comprehensive orthodontic care.
