Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth using custom-made aligners. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking aesthetic improvement without traditional braces. The system uses 3D imaging to map out precise tooth movements, ensuring predictable results while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Damon System
The Damon System uses passive self-ligating braces with a slide mechanism to reduce pressure on teeth. This technology enables faster treatment times and fewer adjustments compared to conventional braces. Patients benefit from enhanced comfort and improved dental alignment through advanced archwire technology.
Braces
Traditional metal braces and ceramic options provide effective solutions for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Metal braces offer durability, while ceramic braces provide a more aesthetic alternative. Both options are customized to each patient's specific orthodontic needs for optimal results.
Craniofacial Orthodontics
Specialized care for patients with cleft lip and palate or other craniofacial abnormalities. This multidisciplinary approach coordinates orthodontic treatment with surgical interventions to achieve proper dental alignment and facial aesthetics. Treatment spans childhood through adulthood with comprehensive planning.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignment through coordinated treatment with oral surgeons. This approach addresses functional issues like improper bites while improving facial symmetry. Treatment involves pre-surgical orthodontics followed by post-surgical refinement to achieve stable, long-term results.
