Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth efficiently. They offer durability and precise control over tooth movement, with optional colored elastics for personalization. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking reliable, cost-effective orthodontic correction for complex alignment issues.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. They allow unrestricted eating and oral hygiene while treating conditions like crowding and overbites. Patients appreciate their comfort and convenience, requiring checkups every eight weeks for optimal progress.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw abnormalities and malocclusions through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment aligns jaws and teeth for improved function and aesthetics, typically for adults with structural issues unresponsive to braces alone. Recovery includes post-surgical orthodontic fine-tuning for lasting results.
Clarity Ceramic Braces
Clarity ceramic braces offer aesthetic appeal with translucent brackets that blend with natural teeth. They provide effective alignment for older teens and adults while maintaining strength comparable to metal braces. Patients benefit from discreet treatment with reduced visibility during social and professional interactions.
Herbst Appliance Therapy
The Herbst appliance corrects overbites by guiding lower jaw growth in children. Fixed to molars, it promotes proper jaw alignment without patient compliance issues associated with removable devices. This early intervention creates ideal bite relationships and reduces future orthodontic complexity.
