Invisalign Treatment
Our Invisalign treatment utilizes SmartTrack technology for discreet tooth alignment. The process begins with iTero digital scanning to create customized treatment plans. Patients receive sequential aligner trays that gradually shift teeth into optimal positions while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. This method eliminates traditional bracket discomfort and food restrictions.
MARPE Expansion
Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MARPE) treatment addresses structural jaw issues and breathing difficulties. This advanced technique creates permanent skeletal changes by expanding the upper jaw. It effectively treats sleep apnea symptoms, facial asymmetry, and severe crowding through gradual, controlled bone remodeling in both adolescent and adult patients.
Braces Treatment
In-Ovation R & C self-ligating braces offer efficient tooth movement with reduced friction. These modern brackets eliminate elastic ties while maintaining aesthetic options through customizable color choices. The system shortens treatment duration while improving patient comfort through innovative sliding-door technology that allows smoother wire movement.
Bite Correction
Our bite correction specialists use Herbst appliances and TADs to address jaw discrepancies. These treatments improve chewing function and facial aesthetics by correcting underbites, overbites, and midline discrepancies. Temporary anchorage devices enable precise tooth movements that would otherwise require surgical intervention.
Retention Phase
We provide customized retention solutions including Essix and Hawley retainers. This critical phase maintains treatment results for minimum 12 months following active orthodontic care. Our team ensures proper retainer fit and provides comprehensive instructions for cleaning and maintenance to preserve your newly aligned smile.
