Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to gradually align teeth. These durable appliances offer efficient tooth movement with optional colored elastics for personalization. Modern designs provide enhanced comfort compared to older models while maintaining effectiveness for complex orthodontic cases.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces offer a discreet orthodontic solution using tooth-colored materials that blend with natural teeth. While less visible than metal braces, they require careful oral hygiene maintenance due to their larger, more brittle structure. Ideal for older teens and adults seeking aesthetic treatment options.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable acrylic trays to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. These virtually invisible aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while providing comfortable, effective tooth movement for qualified patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
