Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces, this treatment offers comfort and flexibility while correcting misalignment. Our team ensures precise planning for optimal results.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses jaw growth and bite issues. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reducing future extraction needs. We focus on guiding development to ensure long-term oral health and proper alignment.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe bite discrepancies, surgical orthodontics combines braces with jaw surgery. Our specialists coordinate with oral surgeons to realign jaws, improving function and facial aesthetics. This treatment is ideal for complex cases requiring structural correction.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance corrects severe overbites by guiding lower jaw development. Fixed to molars, it ensures consistent wear for effective results. This non-removable option eliminates compliance issues associated with traditional headgear.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We prioritize same-day treatment for broken brackets, poking wires, or severe discomfort. Our team provides immediate solutions to maintain treatment progress and alleviate pain, ensuring patient safety and comfort outside regular appointments.
