Services
Orthodontic Consultation
Our comprehensive initial consultation includes dental history review, oral examination with X-rays, and customized treatment planning. We discuss all available options, financial considerations, and insurance coverage during this appointment. This evaluation helps determine the most effective orthodontic approach for achieving your ideal smile.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses removable, transparent aligners to straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. These custom-made appliances gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialized treatment addresses jaw growth and development issues in children. Our orthodontists guide facial structure formation to create proper tooth alignment and bite relationships. Early intervention often prevents more complex treatments later in life.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
We provide specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders causing jaw pain and movement restrictions. Treatment options include custom oral appliances, physical therapy recommendations, and bite adjustment techniques to alleviate chronic headaches and facial discomfort.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe jaw irregularities, combined surgical and orthodontic treatment realigns jaws for improved function. This comprehensive approach addresses chewing, speaking, and breathing difficulties through coordinated pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care.
