Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting misalignments. Treatment duration varies from 3 months for minor cases to 24 months for comprehensive alignment, with options like Invisalign Lite and Express for faster results.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces provide precise tooth movement for complex cases. Treatment includes regular adjustments to archwires and elastics, with average durations of 12-24 months. Ceramic options offer discreet alignment for adults seeking aesthetic solutions.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 6-10. Invisalign First and interceptive treatments guide jaw growth and create space for adult teeth, potentially reducing future extraction needs and shortening adolescent treatment phases.
Two-Phase Treatment
This approach combines early intervention with adolescent treatment. Phase one (12-18 months) addresses skeletal issues, followed by a retention period, then phase two (12-18 months) finalizes tooth positioning to reduce long-term complications.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
For severe bite issues unresponsive to tooth movement alone, surgical correction realigns jaws. Combined with orthodontic treatment, this addresses functional problems like chewing difficulties and sleep apnea while improving facial symmetry.
