Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This system employs 3D computer imaging technology to create customized treatment plans. Patients benefit from the aesthetic advantages and convenience of removable appliances while achieving proper dental alignment.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces utilize high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to effectively correct dental misalignment. These cost-effective solutions offer precise tooth movement control with optional colored elastics for personalization. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18-24 months depending on case complexity.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses jaw growth and bite issues before all permanent teeth erupt. This phase creates proper space for developing teeth, potentially reducing future extraction needs. Treatment may involve palatal expanders or other orthopedic appliances to guide facial development.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through coordinated treatment with oral surgeons. This approach addresses functional issues affecting chewing, speaking, and breathing while improving facial aesthetics. Braces are used before and after surgery for optimal tooth positioning.
iTero Digital Impressions
iTero digital impression technology creates precise 3D models of teeth without traditional putty impressions. This system enhances diagnostic accuracy, reduces appointment time, and improves patient comfort during treatment planning for braces or aligners.
