Services
Metal Braces
Durable metal braces use stainless steel brackets and archwires to correct misalignments. Ideal for complex cases, they offer precise tooth movement through periodic adjustments. Patients benefit from shorter treatment times compared to removable options. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and color customization for elastic ties.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made acrylic trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Nearly invisible, these removable aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment involves sequential tray changes every 1-2 weeks under professional supervision for optimal results in mild to moderate cases.
Child Orthodontics
Specialized care addresses developmental dental issues in children aged 7-10. Early intervention corrects jaw growth problems and creates space for permanent teeth. Phase I treatment prevents severe complications while establishing proper bite relationships for improved long-term outcomes.
Lingual Braces
Custom-fitted braces mounted behind teeth offer discreet correction of complex malocclusions. Utilizing CAD/CAM technology for bracket placement, this option maintains aesthetics while achieving comprehensive tooth movement through traditional orthodontic mechanics.
3D Imaging Technology
Advanced cone-beam CT scans create detailed 3D models of dental structures. This technology enables precise treatment planning with reduced radiation exposure. Digital impressions eliminate traditional putty molds, improving patient comfort during orthodontic evaluations.
