Services
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth efficiently. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics. This proven method effectively corrects complex alignment issues while maintaining durability and cost-effectiveness compared to other orthodontic solutions.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made acrylic trays gradually reposition teeth without metal brackets. These removable aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment typically requires 20-22 hours daily wear with biweekly tray changes for optimal tooth movement and treatment efficiency.
Invisalign
This advanced clear aligner system uses SmartTrack material for improved tooth movement control. Patients receive weekly aligner changes for accelerated treatment while maintaining comfort. The virtually invisible trays offer convenient care with fewer office visits required compared to traditional orthodontic methods.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Specialized treatment addresses facial growth patterns and jaw alignment issues. This approach uses appliances like expanders and headgear to correct skeletal discrepancies during childhood development. Early intervention helps create proper dental arch relationships and improves long-term facial aesthetics.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Timely intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses jaw growth and bite problems. This phase creates space for permanent teeth eruption and reduces future extraction needs. Treatment focuses on correcting crossbites, underbites, and other developmental issues to simplify subsequent orthodontic care.
