Services
Braces
Braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws using brackets, wires, and elastics. We offer traditional metal, ceramic, and self-ligating options for children, teens, and adults. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, with regular adjustments ensuring gradual, effective results. Our team prioritizes patient education to maintain oral hygiene during treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. SmartTrack material ensures comfort and precise tooth movement for issues like crowding, gaps, and bite problems. Patients appreciate the convenience of removable trays for eating and cleaning, with checkups every six weeks to monitor progress.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses jaw growth and bite issues in children aged 7-9. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reducing future extractions or surgery. Treatment may include expanders or partial braces, followed by a resting period before full braces in adolescence.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment combines early intervention with full braces for optimal results. Phase One focuses on jaw development, while Phase Two aligns all permanent teeth. This approach ensures lasting stability and aesthetics, particularly for complex cases requiring skeletal correction.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays provide high-resolution images with reduced radiation exposure. These images aid in diagnosing tooth positioning, jaw development, and potential issues invisible during visual exams. The technology supports precise treatment planning and progress monitoring throughout orthodontic care.
