Services
Clear Aligners
Our clear aligner systems offer discreet, removable trays customized for effective teeth straightening. These nearly invisible trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Dr. Sheila designs treatment plans using 3D technology to ensure precise tooth movement for both teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic solutions.
Surgical Orthodontics
For complex cases requiring structural correction, we coordinate orthognathic surgery with top oral surgeons. This treatment addresses severe jaw misalignment, facial asymmetry, and functional issues like sleep apnea. Our collaborative approach combines pre-surgical orthodontics, precise surgical planning, and post-operative fine-tuning to achieve optimal bite function and facial balance.
Children's Orthodontics
We specialize in interceptive orthodontics for children starting at age 7. Our approach focuses on timely interventions that guide jaw development, create space for permanent teeth, and prevent future complications. Using gentle techniques, we address issues like crossbites and crowding while minimizing the need for extractions or extended treatment later.
Adult Orthodontics
We provide discreet orthodontic solutions for adults seeking improved oral health and confidence. Treatment options include low-profile braces and clear aligners that accommodate professional lifestyles. Our specialists address unique adult concerns like periodontal health and dental restorations while achieving aesthetically pleasing, functionally sound results for patients of all ages.
Hybrid Treatment
This approach combines braces and aligners for optimal efficiency and aesthetics. Initial phases use braces to resolve major alignment issues, followed by clear aligners for final precision. This method reduces overall treatment time while maintaining discretion, particularly effective for complex cases requiring both significant tooth movement and subtle refinements.
