Services
Braces
Traditional metal and clear braces correct dental misalignments through gradual tooth movement. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and bite issues with precision. Patients benefit from durable materials and regular adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. SmartTrack material ensures comfort and effectiveness for complex cases. Removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while achieving desired results discreetly.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe bite issues and jaw abnormalities in conjunction with braces. This treatment realigns jaws for improved function and aesthetics. Ideal for adults with skeletal discrepancies that cannot be resolved through orthodontics alone.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing bite and alignment issues in children aged 7-10. Expanders and partial braces guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth. Prevents more complex problems and reduces future treatment duration.
3D Printed Aligners
In-office 3D printing creates custom aligners faster than traditional methods. Eliminates wait times for lab-fabricated trays while maintaining material strength and clarity. Allows immediate treatment start and quick replacements if needed.
