Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and bite issues through gradual pressure. Our practice offers customized bracket placement and modern wire technology for improved comfort and faster results. Patients receive comprehensive care with regular adjustments every 6-8 weeks.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This discreet option works best for teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives, with treatment plans tailored using advanced 3D imaging technology for predictable outcomes.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through custom appliances and bite analysis. Our approach combines diagnostic evaluation with personalized orthodontic interventions to relieve pain and improve jaw function for lasting comfort.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated treatment with oral surgeons. This comprehensive approach treats functional issues like improper bites and facial imbalances, requiring pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care for optimal alignment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing bite problems in children aged 7-10. Our interceptive treatments guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future treatment complexity through expanders and partial braces.
