Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth effectively. These durable appliances allow for precise tooth movement with optional colored elastics for personalization. Our practice offers modern, comfortable designs that require fewer adjustments while delivering reliable results for patients seeking comprehensive orthodontic correction.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This treatment combines 3D imaging technology with customized treatment planning to address various orthodontic issues. Patients appreciate the convenience of removable aligners for eating and cleaning, along with reduced office visits compared to conventional braces.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw alignment issues and bite problems through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses functional concerns like improper bites and jaw abnormalities while improving facial aesthetics. Our team manages pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care to ensure optimal long-term results for complex cases.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite problems and jaw growth issues in children aged 7-9. This proactive approach creates space for permanent teeth eruption, reduces future extraction needs, and guides jaw development. Our specialists use customized appliances to correct issues like crossbites and underbites during critical growth periods.
ClearCorrect Aligners
ClearCorrect provides discreet, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. These custom-made aligners offer comfort and convenience while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Patients benefit from easy maintenance and the ability to visualize treatment outcomes before starting, with adjustments made through periodic aligner replacements.
