Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners customized to your dental structure. These virtually invisible braces allow for easy eating, brushing, and flossing while gradually repositioning teeth. Dr. Medina designs treatment plans to correct crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crossbites for teens and adults.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase orthodontic treatment addresses severe bite issues in children aged 7-9 during Phase I, leveraging early growth spurts to prevent future extractions or surgery. Phase II (ages 12-13) completes alignment once permanent teeth erupt. This approach ensures optimal bite development and long-term stability for complex cases.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
Custom oral appliances treat mild to moderate sleep apnea by maintaining an open airway during sleep. These comfortable, mouthguard-like devices reposition the jaw to prevent breathing interruptions. Dr. Medina creates tailored solutions to reduce snoring and improve sleep quality, requiring a referral from a sleep specialist for treatment initiation.
Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth and bite issues at any age, improving both aesthetics and oral health. Modern techniques offer faster, more discreet options like clear brackets and Invisalign. Proper alignment reduces risks of decay, gum disease, and TMJ pain while enhancing self-confidence through improved smiles.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces removal, preventing relapse. Patients receive both removable and fixed retainers as needed, with instructions for proper wear and care. Long-term retention ensures lasting results, requiring regular check-ups to monitor fit and make adjustments for lifelong smile stability.
