Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-crafted orthodontic appliances bonded behind teeth for complete discretion. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients, they correct alignment issues without visible hardware. Our team specializes in precise placement and adjustments, ensuring optimal results while maintaining aesthetics. This treatment requires expertise due to its complex positioning but offers unmatched invisibility compared to traditional braces.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ therapy addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through non-invasive, holistic approaches. Using advanced diagnostics, we identify root causes of jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds. Treatments include custom orthotics, bite adjustments, and airway-focused orthodontics to restore function and eliminate chronic discomfort without surgery or dependency on pain medications.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy straightens teeth using removable, BPA-free plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into position. Suitable for mild to moderate cases, this option allows unrestricted eating and oral hygiene. We offer Invisalign and alternative systems with personalized treatment plans, leveraging 3D scanning technology for precise, comfortable fit and predictable outcomes.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery realigns misaligned jaws to improve function, breathing, and facial aesthetics. Our orthodontists coordinate pre- and post-surgical care with oral surgeons, ensuring stable, long-term results. This treatment addresses severe bite issues, sleep apnea, and facial imbalances through comprehensive planning using 3D imaging and joint assessments.
Accelerated Orthodontics
Accelerated orthodontics reduces treatment time through specialized techniques that stimulate bone remodeling. By combining traditional braces with targeted interventions, we achieve faster tooth movement without compromising safety or results. This approach benefits patients seeking quicker corrections while maintaining the quality of comprehensive orthodontic care.
