Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment offers discretion and convenience, allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss normally. SmartTrack material ensures comfort while gradually shifting teeth into alignment, with results often visible within months.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile braces use a slide mechanism to reduce pressure on teeth, enabling faster, more comfortable movement. These braces eliminate elastic ties, minimizing plaque buildup and requiring fewer adjustments. Patients achieve straighter smiles with less discomfort and fewer office visits compared to traditional braces.
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and bite issues for patients of all ages. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and lighter wires for enhanced comfort, with customization options like colored elastics to suit personal style while achieving precise orthodontic results.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance addresses overbites by guiding lower jaw development in children. Fixed to molars, this device encourages proper jaw alignment, reducing the need for extractions or surgery. Treatment typically lasts 12 months, followed by braces for optimal tooth positioning.
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders correct narrow upper jaws by applying gentle pressure to widen the palate. This creates space for crowded teeth and improves breathing and bite alignment. The device is adjusted daily until the desired expansion is achieved, then stabilized for several months.
