Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear trays to straighten teeth discreetly. This removable system allows normal eating and oral care while gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with 18-30 aligner sets, offering a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces for mild to moderate alignment issues.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces employ a passive self-ligating system that reduces friction and discomfort. These metal braces use lighter forces for tooth movement, potentially decreasing treatment time and the need for extractions. The innovative design allows for more efficient tooth alignment compared to traditional bracket systems.
Interceptive Treatment
Interceptive treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children with developing teeth. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reduces extraction needs, and promotes proper jaw development. Early intervention helps correct bite problems and guides facial growth for improved long-term outcomes.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to metal braces using tooth-colored brackets. These fixed appliances provide effective tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for teens and adults seeking less visible orthodontic treatment options.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw misalignment issues combined with orthodontic treatment. This comprehensive approach addresses functional problems affecting chewing, speaking, and breathing while improving facial symmetry and dental occlusion for complex cases requiring structural jaw adjustments.

What is interceptive orthodontic treatment?
Interceptive treatment addresses early dental development issues in children, creating proper space for permanent teeth and guiding jaw growth to prevent future complications.
Can orthodontic treatment help with jaw pain?
Yes, correcting bite misalignments through orthodontics can alleviate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and improve overall oral function and comfort.
