In-House Clear Aligners
Our in-house clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Using advanced 3D scanning and printing technology, we create custom-fitted aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. This process eliminates the need for multiple lab visits, reducing treatment time and costs while maintaining the same high-quality results as name-brand systems.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach combines early intervention with comprehensive treatment to optimize jaw development and tooth alignment. Phase One addresses jaw growth and bite issues in children aged 7-9, while Phase Two ensures proper positioning of all permanent teeth. The process prevents future extractions and creates lasting, stable results.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Designed for children aged 7-10, this treatment corrects jaw discrepancies and bite problems before all permanent teeth erupt. By addressing issues like crowding and crossbites early, we create space for proper tooth eruption and reduce the need for future extractions or surgical interventions. The process typically lasts 12-20 months.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to effectively straighten teeth. Available with customizable colored elastics, these braces offer precise tooth movement for complex cases. Self-ligating options eliminate the need for elastic ties, reducing adjustment frequency and treatment duration.
Cleft Lip and Palate Care
As part of the Orlando Health Craniofacial Team, we provide specialized orthodontic care for children with cleft lip and palate conditions. Our treatment plans coordinate with surgical interventions to ensure proper dental development, functional bite alignment, and aesthetic improvement throughout childhood and adolescence.
