Services
Metal Braces
Metal braces use high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires to gradually align teeth. Modern designs offer improved comfort and efficiency while maintaining durability for complex cases. Patients can personalize their look with colored bands. This treatment provides reliable results for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues across all age groups.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces feature tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with natural teeth for a discreet appearance. They function similarly to metal braces but offer aesthetic advantages for teens and adults. The smooth design reduces irritation while effectively addressing mild to moderate alignment concerns. Stain-resistant materials maintain visual appeal throughout treatment when combined with proper oral hygiene.
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners use transparent plastic trays to gradually reposition teeth without brackets or wires. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, removing them for meals and oral care. This option suits busy lifestyles while correcting various dental issues. The removable design promotes better hygiene and reduces emergency visits compared to traditional fixed appliances.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialty addresses facial bone growth and jaw alignment, particularly in children. Treatments include palatal expanders and headgear to guide proper development. Combining orthodontics with dentofacial orthopedics ensures comprehensive solutions for bite function and facial symmetry. Early intervention can prevent more complex issues later in life.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignment through coordinated care with oral surgeons. The process involves pre-surgical orthodontics, jaw repositioning surgery, and post-operative fine-tuning. This approach improves both functional bite relationships and facial aesthetics. Treatment typically requires 6-12 months of follow-up orthodontic care after surgical healing.
