Services
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses dental alignment issues in children aged 7-10. This phase prevents severe problems by guiding jaw growth and creating space for permanent teeth. It reduces future treatment complexity and costs while improving facial symmetry.
Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel braces correct complex alignment issues through precise tooth movement. Modern designs offer enhanced comfort and aesthetics while maintaining effectiveness for patients of all ages seeking reliable orthodontic results.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without wires. This removable system employs 3D technology for gradual tooth movement, offering a discreet option for adults and teens seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions.
Retainers
Post-treatment retainers maintain corrected tooth positions during the 24-month retention phase. Options include Hawley retainers with customizable acrylic, fixed lingual retainers, and clear Essix retainers for discreet, long-term stability.
Orthognathic Surgery
Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment corrects severe jaw discrepancies affecting function and appearance. This comprehensive approach improves bite alignment, facial symmetry, and overall oral health for complex cases requiring structural correction.
