Services
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-crafted orthodontic appliances placed behind the teeth for discreet correction. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients, they address moderate to complex misalignment without visibility. Our team ensures precise placement and adjustments, combining aesthetic benefits with functional improvements. Patients appreciate the seamless integration into daily life, requiring no lifestyle changes beyond oral hygiene adaptations. This service is particularly popular among adults and those in media or client-facing roles.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment focuses on non-invasive, root-cause solutions for temporomandibular joint disorders. Using advanced diagnostics, we address misalignment, muscle tension, and airway issues contributing to chronic pain. Custom orthotics, bite adjustments, and holistic therapies restore function and comfort. Patients experience reduced headaches, improved jaw mobility, and long-term relief. We prioritize conservative methods before considering surgery, ensuring minimal risk and optimal outcomes for lasting oral and systemic health.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery corrects skeletal imbalances affecting function and appearance, often combined with orthodontics for stable results. We collaborate with oral surgeons to realign jaws, improving breathing, chewing, and facial symmetry. Pre-surgical orthodontics prepares teeth for optimal positioning, while post-surgical care ensures durability. Common indications include sleep apnea, severe bite discrepancies, and facial trauma. Our team guides patients through every step, from planning to recovery, emphasizing long-term health benefits over cosmetic outcomes.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a removable, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces for mild to moderate misalignment. Custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth using 3D imaging technology. Patients enjoy dietary freedom and easier oral hygiene, with options like Invisalign and nighttime-only aligners. We provide comprehensive monitoring to ensure progress, making this service ideal for adults seeking convenience without compromising results. Treatment duration varies but typically spans 1218 months for full correction.
Airway Orthodontics
Airway orthodontics addresses breathing issues like sleep apnea by optimizing jaw and airway structure. Early intervention in children prevents developmental issues, while adults benefit from improved oxygen flow and reduced snoring. Techniques include palatal expansion and mandibular advancement, integrating with TMJ and orthodontic treatments. This holistic approach enhances sleep quality, energy levels, and overall health, reflecting our commitment to whole-body wellness beyond dental aesthetics.
