Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. These removable, virtually invisible trays offer greater comfort and convenience while effectively correcting misalignment. Patients can maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines during treatment. The average treatment duration ranges from 12-18 months depending on individual cases.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces provide efficient tooth movement with smaller, more comfortable brackets than older designs. Available in both standard and colored options, these braces utilize advanced archwire technology to reduce treatment time while maintaining precise control over tooth positioning for optimal results.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialized treatment addresses jaw growth and development issues in children. By guiding facial bone structure during formative years, we can create proper alignment for improved function and aesthetics. Early intervention often reduces the need for more complex treatments later in life.
TMJ/TMD Treatments
We provide specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain and restricted movement. Treatment options include custom oral appliances, physical therapy techniques, and bite adjustment procedures to alleviate symptoms and restore normal jaw function for improved quality of life.
Orthodontic Emergencies
Our practice offers prompt assistance for urgent orthodontic issues including broken brackets, wire irritation, and appliance damage. Patients receive immediate guidance through phone triage and access to same-day appointments when necessary to maintain treatment progress and patient comfort.
