Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth through controlled pressure. This proven method effectively treats complex misalignments and bite issues. Patients receive regular adjustments to ensure optimal tooth movement, with treatment typically lasting 18-24 months.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment utilizes removable clear plastic aligners for discreet teeth straightening. These custom-made trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting alignment issues. The system provides predictable results through sequential tray changes every 1-2 weeks.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain post-treatment alignment through removable or fixed appliances. Clear removable retainers and permanent wire retainers ensure lasting results. Patients receive detailed care instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor retention success.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses orthodontic issues in two stages, starting around age 7. Early phase treatment guides jaw development, while the second phase focuses on final tooth alignment. It prevents future complications and reduces need for extractions or surgery.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized orthodontic solutions address temporomandibular joint disorders through bite correction and alignment. Treatment alleviates pain and improves jaw function through customized orthodontic interventions. Our experts develop comprehensive plans to resolve TMJ-related discomfort.
