Services
Children braces
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7+ addresses bite issues, space management, and habit correction. We specialize in interceptive treatment for anterior/posterior crossbites and ectopic teeth. Our approach establishes proper dental development foundations while maintaining patient comfort through gentle techniques.
Clear aligner therapy
Custom plastic aligners gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. Patients appreciate the removable design for eating and cleaning. We offer SureSmile and Invisalign options with precise digital treatment planning for predictable, esthetic results in both teens and adults.
Lingual braces
Fixed orthodontic appliances placed on the tongue-side of teeth provide discreet correction. Using traditional wire mechanics behind the scenes, this option maintains complete visibility while achieving complex tooth movements for optimal bite alignment and smile aesthetics.
White spot lesion removal
Minimally invasive infiltration treatment addresses decalcification spots caused by poor oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. This single-visit procedure restores enamel appearance without drilling, effectively treating fluorosis-related spots and trauma-induced discoloration for improved smile aesthetics.
Adolescent braces
Comprehensive treatment for teens aged 11-18 focuses on permanent dentition alignment. We address functional concerns like uneven wear and jaw discomfort while enhancing self-confidence through improved aesthetics using traditional and ceramic bracket systems.
