Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This system employs SmartTrack material for improved tooth movement control and comfort. Patients benefit from removable trays that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving precise dental alignment through weekly aligner changes.
Damon Smile Braces
Damon Smile braces utilize a tie-less design with slide mechanisms that reduce pressure on teeth and require fewer adjustments. These braces combine high-tech archwires with low-friction technology to accelerate treatment while maintaining patient comfort and improving dental hygiene access during orthodontic care.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw abnormalities and malocclusions through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses functional issues like improper bites and facial asymmetry by realigning jaw bones followed by orthodontic fine-tuning to achieve optimal dental alignment and facial balance.
TMJ-TMD Treatment
TMJ-TMD treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing jaw pain, headaches, and chewing difficulties. Our approach combines diagnostic evaluation with customized therapeutic interventions to alleviate symptoms, improve jaw function, and restore comfortable oral movement through non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Pediatric orthodontics focuses on early intervention and treatment for children's dental development. We provide age-appropriate solutions including phase one orthodontics, space maintainers, and growth guidance to correct bite issues and create proper dental arch development for future oral health.
