Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of invisible, removable trays to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-designed with 3D imaging, they allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment averages 9-15 months with 18-30 aligner sets, requiring biweekly changes and periodic checkups to ensure proper tooth movement.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces employ high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires for effective tooth alignment. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics. These braces efficiently correct complex alignment issues while offering durability and cost-effectiveness compared to other orthodontic options.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. This approach improves chewing, speaking, and breathing functions while enhancing facial aesthetics. Treatment involves pre-surgical braces (6-18 months) followed by orthognathic surgery and post-operative fine-tuning.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding facial growth and development alongside tooth alignment. Specialized appliances address jaw discrepancies in growing patients, often combined with traditional braces. This dual approach ensures proper bite relationships and harmonious facial proportions through coordinated treatment planning.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth positions after orthodontic treatment. Custom-fitted removable or fixed options ensure long-term stability. Patients receive detailed care instructions to prevent damage or loss, with regular checkups to monitor retention success and address any necessary adjustments.
