Services
Phase I Treatment
Phase I Treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children with mixed dentition. This interceptive approach corrects skeletal dysplasia, crossbites, and crowding during early growth spurts. By intervening at age 7-8, we create optimal conditions for permanent tooth eruption and reduce future treatment complexity.
Adult Orthodontics
Our adult orthodontic services address misalignment issues at any age. We offer metal braces, translucent options, and clear aligners to improve dental aesthetics and function. Treatment considers existing dental health and addresses concerns like TMJ pain and uneven wear patterns.
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Custom SomnoDent appliances reposition the jaw to alleviate snoring and sleep apnea symptoms. These devices offer an alternative to CPAP machines by addressing airway obstruction through personalized oral appliance therapy.
Retention Services
Retention phase management ensures long-term stability of orthodontic results. We provide customized retainers and monitor patients for at least six months post-treatment to maintain proper tooth alignment and prevent relapse.
Comprehensive Orthodontics
Full orthodontic treatment addresses malocclusions in permanent dentition. This service includes diagnosis, appliance selection, and treatment planning to correct bite issues, improve oral health, and enhance facial aesthetics through systematic tooth movement.
