Braces
Braces correct misaligned teeth and jaw issues through brackets and wires. We offer traditional metal, clear ceramic, gold, and self-ligating options tailored to age and lifestyle. Treatment durations range from 1224 months, with regular adjustments ensuring optimal results. Our team prioritizes comfort and education, guiding patients through hygiene and dietary adjustments.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners provide a discreet alternative to braces using custom-made, removable trays. Ideal for correcting gaps, overcrowding, and bite issues, they require 2022 hours of daily wear. Treatment lasts 1218 months, with new aligners every 12 weeks. They are especially popular among teens and adults seeking aesthetic flexibility.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses jaw development and tooth alignment in children. Phase One (ages 68) guides jaw growth to prevent extractions, while Phase Two uses braces for final alignment. This approach ensures lasting results by leveraging natural growth patterns and reducing future surgical needs.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
TMJ/TMD treatment alleviates jaw pain and dysfunction through custom splints, orthodontic correction, and therapeutic exercises. We address causes like misaligned bites or teeth grinding, focusing on non-invasive solutions. Patient education on stress management and posture complements long-term relief.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea treatment utilizes oral appliances to keep airways open during sleep. Custom-fitted devices reposition the jaw, improving airflow. Combined with orthodontic adjustments, this approach reduces snoring and enhances sleep quality, offering a non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines.
