Services
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for discreet orthodontic treatment. Our low-profile 1.5mm brackets minimize tongue irritation while providing precise tooth movement. Ideal for complex cases unsuitable for aligners, this system reduces friction and treatment duration through self-ligation technology.
Orthopedic Appliances
Custom orthopedic appliances guide jaw development in children using natural muscle movements. These devices correct bite issues and prevent extractions by expanding dental arches during growth phases. Treatments include Rapid Palatal Expanders and Twin Block systems for skeletal alignment.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use advanced bracket technology to reduce friction and treatment time. These braces eliminate elastic ties, requiring fewer adjustments while maintaining precise tooth control. Clear options provide aesthetic benefits without compromising effectiveness.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom transparent aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets. Removable trays allow normal eating and cleaning while gradually shifting teeth into position. Treatment requires 20-22 hours daily wear with new aligners every 4-6 weeks.
Pediatric Dentistry
Early orthodontic evaluation identifies developmental issues needing intervention. Our approach preserves natural teeth through growth guidance techniques. We recommend initial assessments by age 7 to optimize treatment timing and reduce future complexity.
