Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct tooth alignment and bite issues through gradual pressure. Our practice offers customized treatment plans for children and adults. We use advanced bracket systems and heat-activated wires that require fewer adjustments, ensuring efficient and comfortable orthodontic care.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made removable aligners straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This discreet option suits patients seeking aesthetic alternatives. We provide sequential aligner trays that gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Orthodontic Evaluations
Comprehensive assessments determine individual orthodontic needs. Our evaluations include digital imaging, study models, and treatment planning. We recommend appropriate interventions based on malocclusion severity and patient-specific goals for optimal dental function and aesthetics.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. We fabricate both removable and fixed retainers to ensure long-term stability. Our team provides instructions for proper care and wear schedules to prevent relapse of tooth positioning.
Digital X-Rays
Advanced digital radiography captures detailed images of teeth and jaw structures. This technology enables precise treatment planning with reduced radiation exposure. We use panoramic and cephalometric X-rays to assess skeletal relationships and tooth positioning for comprehensive orthodontic diagnosis.
