Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This technology employs 3D imaging to create customized treatment plans, allowing patients to visualize their final results before starting treatment. The system gradually shifts teeth through sequential aligner changes every two weeks.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery corrects significant jaw irregularities affecting function and appearance. Combined with pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment, this approach improves speech, chewing, and breathing while achieving proper dental alignment and facial aesthetics.
AcceleDent Therapy
AcceleDent Aura technology uses SoftPulse vibrations to accelerate tooth movement by up to 50%. This FDA-cleared device enhances cellular response in bone tissue, reducing treatment duration while maintaining safety and patient comfort during orthodontic adjustments.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialty focuses on guiding facial growth and jaw development in younger patients. Using specialized appliances, we address skeletal discrepancies to create proper dental arch relationships and improve facial symmetry alongside traditional orthodontic treatment.
Two-Phase Treatment
Phase I treatment addresses developing bite problems in children aged 6-10 using expanders or partial braces. Phase II comprehensive treatment follows with full braces after permanent teeth eruption, typically between ages 11-13, to achieve optimal alignment.
