Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions, this treatment allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines while correcting mild to moderate misalignments.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses functional issues like improper bites and facial asymmetry unresponsive to braces alone. Patients receive pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care to ensure optimal alignment and long-term oral health.
Craniofacial Orthopedics
Specialized care for craniofacial anomalies focuses on guiding facial growth and dental alignment in children and adults. Treatment integrates orthodontic appliances with multidisciplinary management of conditions like cleft lip and palate. The goal is to improve both function and facial aesthetics through early intervention and coordinated care.
Traditional Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel braces provide efficient tooth movement for comprehensive orthodontic correction. Modern designs offer enhanced comfort and optional colored elastics for personalization. This cost-effective solution remains the gold standard for treating complex alignment issues and bite problems in patients of all ages.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics addresses jaw development in growing patients using specialized appliances. Early intervention corrects skeletal discrepancies to prevent future complications. This approach optimizes facial symmetry and creates proper conditions for permanent teeth eruption and orthodontic treatment success.
