Services
Early Treatment
Orthodontic intervention beginning at age 7 helps guide jaw growth and prevent future tooth extractions. Our approach utilizes natural growth patterns to create space for permanent teeth while addressing bite issues early. This phase typically lasts 6-18 months and sets the foundation for comprehensive treatment.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made, removable plastic trays gradually shift teeth without metal brackets. The system uses 3D imaging to map treatment progress, allowing patients to see final results before starting. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and requires strict compliance for optimal outcomes.
Oral Surgery
Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment addresses severe malocclusions and cleft palate issues. Our specialists coordinate with oral surgeons to realign jaws and improve facial symmetry. This comprehensive approach requires careful planning and typically involves pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatment plans address unique adult concerns like facial aesthetics and dental wear. We offer lingual braces and clear aligners for discreet correction while maintaining periodontal health. Treatment considers existing dental work and long-term smile stability.
Braces
Metal bracket systems with high-tech archwires provide precise tooth movement. Our modern braces use memory wires for reduced adjustment frequency and greater comfort. Available in standard and self-ligating options with treatment times averaging 18-24 months.
