Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to correct tooth alignment and jaw positioning. This proven method effectively treats complex dental issues through periodic adjustments. Patients benefit from durable, cost-effective treatment with visible progress throughout the process.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. These removable appliances offer discreet treatment for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal braces.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialty focuses on guiding facial growth and jaw development in children. Early intervention helps correct skeletal imbalances using specialized appliances to create proper dental arch formation and bite relationships.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to address severe bite issues and facial asymmetry. Pre-surgical braces align teeth before surgical repositioning of the jaws for optimal function and appearance.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Immediate assistance for broken brackets, loose wires, or other orthodontic emergencies. Our team provides prompt solutions to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress outside regular appointment schedules.
