Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces use advanced bracket and wire technology to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Our Damon Braces system reduces plaque buildup and requires fewer adjustments, offering a comfortable, efficient solution for patients seeking lasting results through proven orthodontic methods.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment utilizes custom-made, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. These nearly invisible trays provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces, allowing patients to maintain their lifestyle while achieving a straighter smile through digital treatment planning.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces employ a slide mechanism that eliminates elastic ties, reducing friction and treatment time. Available in metal or clear options, this system offers enhanced comfort, easier cleaning, and fewer office visits while delivering precise tooth movement for improved bite alignment.
iTero Scanner
Our iTero 3D scanner creates detailed digital impressions using radiation-free laser technology. This advanced imaging system enables accurate treatment planning, virtual smile simulations, and precise fabrication of aligners and retainers in just minutes during your initial consultation.
Early Treatment
We recommend initial orthodontic evaluations at age 7 to address developing bite issues. Early intervention can guide jaw growth, create space for permanent teeth, and prevent more complex problems, ensuring optimal dental development through adolescence and adulthood.
