Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct complex alignment issues using brackets and wires. They are durable and ideal for severe crowding or bite problems. Patients benefit from improved oral health, clearer speech, and enhanced chewing efficiency. Treatment typically lasts 18-24 months, with regular adjustments ensuring steady progress toward a straighter smile.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent trays to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. These aligners offer discreet treatment for mild to moderate misalignment. Patients enjoy the freedom to eat without restrictions and maintain oral hygiene easily. Treatment averages 12-18 months, making it a popular choice for busy adults and teens seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
EvoAligners
EvoAligners are in-house manufactured clear aligners designed for faster treatment turnaround. They address minor to moderate tooth movements with customized 3D-printed trays. Patients benefit from reduced wait times and direct orthodontist oversight during production. This cost-effective solution maintains the discretion of store-bought aligners while ensuring professional-grade results through personalized adjustments.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Phase 1 orthodontics treats developing bite issues in children aged 7-10. Early intervention corrects problems like crossbites and crowding before permanent teeth erupt. Patients reduce future treatment complexity and achieve better facial symmetry. This preventive approach often eliminates the need for tooth extractions or extended braces wear during adolescence.
PROPEL Accelerated Orthodontics
PROPEL technology reduces treatment time using micro-osteoperforations to stimulate bone remodeling. This method is compatible with braces or aligners, accelerating tooth movement by up to 50%. Patients achieve results faster while maintaining treatment precision. The minimally invasive procedure enhances comfort and predictability for adults seeking quicker orthodontic solutions.
