Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth efficiently. Modern designs offer enhanced comfort with optional colored elastics for personalized aesthetics. This treatment option provides durable, cost-effective results for patients of all ages seeking reliable orthodontic correction.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional brackets. Using SmartTrack material, these aligners provide comfortable, nearly invisible treatment with proven results for various bite issues. Patients appreciate the convenience of maintaining regular oral hygiene and dietary habits during treatment.
Clarity Ceramic Braces
Clarity ceramic braces combine aesthetic appeal with effective treatment through translucent brackets that blend with natural tooth color. These durable, stain-resistant brackets offer a less visible alternative to metal braces while maintaining efficient tooth movement for older teens and adults.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance addresses severe overbites by guiding lower jaw development through fixed metal tubes connecting upper and lower molars. This non-removable solution ensures consistent treatment compliance while promoting proper jaw alignment and bite correction over 12 months.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects complex jaw abnormalities through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment combines pre-surgical braces, orthognathic surgery, and post-operative orthodontics to achieve optimal facial symmetry and functional bite alignment for adults with severe malocclusion.
