Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal braces. This treatment offers comfort and discretion through removable, BPA-free plastic trays that apply gentle pressure. Patients benefit from improved oral hygiene access and the ability to eat without restrictions while achieving proper tooth alignment.
Brava Lingual Braces
Brava lingual braces are fixed orthodontic appliances attached to the back of teeth for complete invisibility. Utilizing smartwire technology, they apply continuous gentle force to reposition teeth effectively. This option suits patients seeking traditional braces' effectiveness with aesthetic benefits and no removal requirements during treatment.
Traditional Braces
Modern traditional braces use smaller, more comfortable metal brackets and wires to correct complex dental misalignments. Available with customizable colored elastics, they provide reliable tooth movement for various orthodontic issues. This proven treatment option remains effective for patients requiring significant bite correction or tooth rotation.
Orthodontic Retainers
Retainers maintain proper tooth positioning after orthodontic treatment completion. We offer both removable clear retainers and fixed lingual retainers to prevent relapse. Proper retention ensures long-term stability of your newly aligned smile while accommodating different lifestyle preferences and maintenance capabilities.
Early Orthodontic Intervention
Early intervention addresses developing bite problems in children aged 7-10. This preventive approach guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth eruption. Timely treatment can reduce future orthodontic complexity while promoting proper facial development and self-esteem during critical growth periods.
