Services
Braces
Braces correct misaligned teeth and improve bite function through steady pressure applied by brackets and wires. This treatment enhances oral hygiene by straightening teeth, reducing risks of gum disease. SB Orthodontics uses small brackets for comfort and employs advanced techniques to ensure efficient, predictable results tailored to each patient's needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. Custom-made using 3D scanning, these aligners allow easy maintenance of oral hygiene and unrestricted eating. SB Orthodontics, a top provider, ensures precise planning for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses skeletal irregularities to improve chewing, speaking, and breathing. SB Orthodontics collaborates with oral surgeons to create cohesive treatment plans, ensuring functional improvements and enhanced facial aesthetics through coordinated pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use gentle forces to align teeth while preserving gum health. Their innovative design reduces friction, shortening treatment time and minimizing discomfort. SB Orthodontics exclusively offers this system for its efficiency, advanced technology, and ability to create natural, beautiful smiles.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through orthodontic interventions. SB Orthodontics provides conservative solutions to alleviate pain and improve jaw function, combining expertise in bite correction and joint health to enhance overall oral well-being.
