Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct misalignment through precision-engineered brackets and wires. Our low-profile Legend twin brackets offer enhanced comfort while Clarity ceramic options provide aesthetic discretion. Treatment durations vary based on individual needs, with same-day placement available for qualified patients.
Clear Aligners
Custom-crafted removable aligners gradually reposition teeth without brackets or wires. Utilizing advanced imaging technology, we create personalized treatment plans with predictable timelines. Patients appreciate the convenience of unrestricted eating and oral hygiene maintenance during treatment.
Early Treatment
Specialized interventions for children aged 6-10 address developmental issues like crossbites and overcrowding. Palatal expanders and habit-correcting appliances guide jaw growth to prevent future complications. Regular monitoring ensures optimal timing for comprehensive treatment.
Adult Orthodontics
Discreet solutions for adults seeking improved alignment and oral health. Lingual braces like Brava system offer invisible correction through back-of-teeth placement. Treatment addresses functional concerns while enhancing aesthetic confidence for professional and personal settings.
Surgical Orthodontics
Comprehensive treatment for severe malocclusions combines orthodontic movement with corrective jaw surgery. Our specialists use 3D imaging and temporary anchorage devices to achieve functional bite alignment and facial symmetry improvements for lasting oral health benefits.
