Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This system employs 3D imaging technology to create precise treatment plans, allowing patients to visualize their final results before starting treatment. Ideal for both teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Specialized treatment focusing on guiding facial growth and jaw development in children. This early intervention addresses skeletal discrepancies using appliances to create proper alignment before comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Effective for correcting severe overbites and underbites through growth modification techniques.
Surgical Orthodontics
Comprehensive treatment for severe jaw misalignment requiring surgical intervention. Combines pre-surgical orthodontics with post-surgical refinement to correct functional issues and improve facial aesthetics. Typically recommended for adults with completed jaw growth and complex bite problems unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Craniofacial Orthodontics
Specialized care for patients with craniofacial abnormalities like cleft lip and palate. Our team coordinates multidisciplinary treatment with speech pathologists and oral surgeons to address dental alignment, speech development, and facial aesthetics through sequential interventions.
Two-Phase Treatment
Sequential orthodontic care starting in childhood to address developing bite issues. Phase one focuses on creating proper jaw space and alignment, followed by a resting period before comprehensive braces treatment in adolescence for optimal final tooth positioning.
