Services
Braces
Traditional metal and clear braces correct tooth alignment and bite issues for patients of all ages. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw misalignment. With regular adjustments and expert monitoring, braces gradually move teeth into optimal positions for improved function and aesthetics.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. The treatment includes digital planning with iTero scanners and weekly aligner changes for faster results. Patients enjoy the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning while achieving discreet tooth movement.
Early Prevention
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-9 corrects jaw growth and bite problems before all permanent teeth erupt. This phase uses expanders and partial braces to create proper space and alignment, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and duration.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe jaw misalignment, surgical orthodontics combines braces with jaw surgery to correct functional and aesthetic issues. Our coordinated care with oral surgeons addresses improper bites, facial asymmetry, and breathing difficulties through precise pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues like broken brackets, poking wires, or appliance damage. Our team offers same-day appointments and temporary solutions to relieve discomfort while maintaining treatment progress until repairs can be completed.
