Services
Adolescent Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic treatment for teens aged 11-15 addresses alignment issues while considering social and developmental needs. Our approach improves self-esteem through aesthetic options like colored braces and Invisalign. Treatment duration typically lasts 18-24 months with regular adjustments.
Adult Orthodontics
Comprehensive treatment solutions for adults seeking improved dental alignment and bite function. We address relapse from past treatments, crowded teeth, and jaw discrepancies using discreet options like Invisalign. Treatment plans consider existing dental work and periodontal health.
Surgical Orthodontics
Collaborative treatment combining orthodontics and oral surgery to correct severe skeletal discrepancies. We address functional issues like sleep apnea and difficulty eating while improving facial aesthetics. Treatment involves pre- and post-surgical orthodontic phases.
Invisalign Treatment
Nearly invisible aligner therapy for discreet teeth straightening. Custom 3D imaging creates sequential aligners that gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. Ideal for both simple and complex cases with removable convenience for eating and cleaning.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain post-treatment alignment. We provide clear retainers and fixed options with detailed care instructions. Long-term retention protocols ensure lasting results through proper cleaning techniques and replacement schedules.
