Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth. Using SmartTrack material, these aligners apply gentle pressure to shift teeth into proper alignment. Patients appreciate their comfort and convenience, as they can be removed for eating and oral hygiene. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, with checkups every six weeks.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to correct misalignment. Modern designs are more comfortable than ever, with optional colored elastics for personalization. This cost-effective option is ideal for complex cases and is suitable for patients of all ages.
i-CAT FLX 3D Imaging
i-CAT FLX Cone Beam 3D Imaging provides detailed facial and jaw scans in under eight seconds. This low-radiation technology enables precise diagnosis and treatment planning for orthodontic and TMJ issues. Patients benefit from faster, more accurate diagnostics compared to traditional X-rays.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets for a less visible alternative to metal braces. While effective for cosmetic concerns, they require diligent oral hygiene due to their larger, more brittle design. Ideal for older teens and adults seeking subtlety.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-fitted behind teeth for complete invisibility. Tailored to individual anatomy, they suit professionals, musicians, and athletes. While effective, they may require an adjustment period for speech and comfort.
