Orthodontic Treatment
Customized orthodontic solutions address misaligned teeth and jaws using traditional braces, clear aligners, or surgical options. Treatment durations range from 12-30 months depending on complexity. Our specialists create tailored plans to improve dental function and aesthetics for long-term oral health benefits.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. This discreet option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives. Treatment involves periodic aligner changes and regular progress monitoring for optimal tooth movement.
Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel braces effectively correct severe misalignments. Modern designs offer improved comfort and customizable color options. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward achieving proper bite alignment and spacing.
Orthognathic Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses functional issues affecting chewing, speech, and sleep. Combined with orthodontics, this treatment improves facial symmetry and dental alignment. Advanced imaging guides precise surgical planning for optimal outcomes.
