Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This treatment suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. The iTero scanner creates precise 3-D treatment plans, with visible results appearing in weeks.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for invisible correction. Customized brackets address crowding and bite issues while maintaining aesthetics. Ideal for professionals and musicians needing discreet yet effective treatment.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use slide-mechanism technology for faster, more comfortable treatment. This system reduces adjustment frequency while achieving precise tooth movement. Patients experience less discomfort compared to traditional bracket systems.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment improves chewing, speaking, and breathing while enhancing facial aesthetics through proper jaw alignment.
iTero Technology
iTero technology creates 3-D dental images in minutes for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This digital system eliminates traditional putty impressions, improving patient comfort and treatment precision.
