Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces use custom brackets and wires to correct tooth alignment. This fixed appliance applies continuous pressure for gradual tooth movement. Ideal for complex cases requiring precise jaw alignment and bite correction. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18-24 months with regular adjustments.
Invisalign
Nearly invisible plastic trays straighten teeth without brackets. Removable for eating and cleaning, these aligners treat mild to moderate misalignments. Patients receive new trays every two weeks, with treatment completing in 6-18 months depending on case complexity and patient compliance.
Clear Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic brackets provide discreet orthodontic treatment. These fixed appliances combine traditional braces' effectiveness with aesthetic appeal. Recommended for teens and adults seeking less visible correction of moderate to severe alignment issues while maintaining treatment efficiency.
Orthodontic Treatment Juniors
Specialized care for children aged 7-11 addresses developing bite issues and alignment problems. Phase I treatment uses expanders and limited brackets to create proper dental arch development. Early intervention prevents more complex issues and reduces future treatment duration.
Phase I Treatment
Initial orthodontic intervention for children focuses on jaw development and space management. This 6-12 month treatment uses appliances to correct crossbites, narrow dental arches, and severe crowding. Creates optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption and subsequent comprehensive treatment.
