Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses dental alignment issues in children aged 7-10. Using digital X-rays and customized appliances like expanders, this phase guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth. Treatment often includes Phase 1 appliances followed by monitoring until full braces. Addresses bite problems and reduces future treatment complexity while improving facial symmetry and oral health.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made transparent trays straighten teeth discreetly for teens and adults. Systems like Invisalign and SureSmile use 3D imaging for precise tooth movement. Removable for eating and cleaning, these aligners offer comfort with no metal irritation. Treatment duration varies but typically requires 12-24 months with biweekly aligner changes and regular progress check-ups.
Brava by Brius
This behind-the-teeth system uses independent tooth movement technology for faster results. Custom brackets attached to individual teeth allow simultaneous, programmed adjustments. Patients enjoy discreet treatment with reduced adjustment appointments. Average treatment time spans 6-18 months, featuring easier oral hygiene maintenance compared to traditional braces.
Adult Treatment
Specialized solutions address tooth alignment and bite issues in patients over 18. Treatment options include ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners to accommodate professional lifestyles. Focus on correcting shifting teeth from aging or periodontal changes while improving oral health and facial aesthetics through personalized treatment plans.
Teen Treatment
Age-specific orthodontic care for 12-18 year olds using modern bracket systems. Offers traditional metal braces with customizable elastic colors, ceramic options, and Invisalign Teen. Treatment includes regular progress monitoring and addresses common issues like overcrowding and malocclusions while emphasizing comfort and treatment compliance.
