Traditional Braces: Time-Tested Solution
Discover the tried-and-true method of traditional braces that have been transforming smiles for decades. Traditional metal braces consist of brackets and wires that work together to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. This treatment option is suitable for patients of all ages and can effectively address a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are made of high-grade stainless steel. These braces use a system of brackets and archwires to apply gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually guiding them into their proper positions. Metal braces are highly efficient and can correct even complex orthodontic issues.
Ceramic Braces
For those seeking a more discreet option, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. These braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces and are a popular option for patients who wish to maintain a more aesthetic appearance during their orthodontic treatment.
Lingual Braces
If you desire complete invisibility during your orthodontic treatment, lingual braces may be the solution for you. Lingual braces are placed on the backside of your teeth, making them virtually invisible to others. These braces are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
Invisalign: Clear Aligners for Invisible Transformation
Say goodbye to traditional braces and hello to Invisalign, the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Invisalign treatment involves a series of custom-made clear aligners that are worn over your teeth. These aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, providing you with the flexibility and convenience you desire during your orthodontic journey.
The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a 3D model of your mouth. With this model, our orthodontists will map out the precise movements your teeth need to make in order to achieve your desired smile. You will receive a series of aligners, each to be worn for a specific period, gradually moving your teeth into their proper positions.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers numerous benefits compared to traditional braces. The clear aligners are discreet and virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without anyone knowing. In addition, the aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without any restrictions. The ability to remove the aligners also makes brushing and flossing easier, promoting better oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
Orthognathic Surgery: Correcting Jaw Irregularities
For individuals with severe jaw discrepancies, orthognathic surgery can be a life-changing solution. Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, involves repositioning the jawbones to achieve proper alignment and harmony. This surgical procedure can enhance both the aesthetic appeal of your face and the functionality of your bite.
Assessment and Treatment Planning
Prior to orthognathic surgery, our team of orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your facial structure and jaw alignment. This assessment will include X-rays, photographs, and computerized imaging to determine the optimal surgical plan for your individual case. We will work closely with you to discuss the potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes of the procedure.
The Surgical Procedure
Orthognathic surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. The specific procedures involved will depend on your unique needs and goals. The surgeon will make precise incisions to access the jawbones, reposition them as planned, and secure them in their new positions using specialized screws and plates. Following surgery, you will experience a period of healing and may require braces or other orthodontic appliances to fine-tune your bite and achieve optimal results.
Retainers: Preserving Your Beautiful Smile
Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers play a crucial role in maintaining your newly achieved smile. Retainers are custom-made appliances that hold your teeth in their new positions, allowing the bone and soft tissues to stabilize. Consistently wearing your retainers as instructed by your orthodontist will help prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Types of Retainers
There are different types of retainers available, and your orthodontist will recommend the most suitable option for you. Removable retainers, such as clear plastic aligners or Hawley retainers, can be easily taken out for eating and oral hygiene routines. Fixed retainers, on the other hand, are bonded to the back of your teeth and provide continuous support. Your orthodontist will guide you on proper retainer care and how often to wear them to ensure the long-term stability of your beautiful smile.
Accelerated Orthodontics: Reducing Treatment Time
Experience the benefits of accelerated orthodontics, a revolutionary approach that minimizes treatment time without compromising the quality of results. Our advanced techniques can help you achieve your desired smile in a shorter period, allowing you to enjoy the confidence and oral health benefits sooner.
Propel Orthodontics
One technique we utilize for accelerated orthodontics is Propel Orthodontics. This innovative system stimulates the bone around your teeth, accelerating the movement of your teeth into their desired positions. By enhancing the biological response of your body, Propel Orthodontics can significantly reduce your treatment time.
AcceleDent
Another method we employ for accelerated orthodontics is AcceleDent, a device that uses gentle vibrations to expedite tooth movement. By using AcceleDent for a few minutes each day, you can enhance the effectiveness of your orthodontic treatment and reduce the overall time required for achieving your dream smile.
Pediatric Orthodontics: Early Intervention for Lifelong Smiles
Give your child the gift of a beautiful smile with our pediatric orthodontic services. Early intervention allows us to correct developing dental issues, preventing more extensive treatments in the future and ensuring a lifetime of confident smiles.
Early Bite Assessment
During early childhood, it is crucial to monitor the development of your child’s teeth and jaws. Our orthodontists can identify potential orthodontic problems at an early stage and recommend appropriate interventions. Early bite assessment allows us to detect issues like crowding, crossbites, or excessive spacing, enabling us to address them promptly.
Phase I Treatment
If your child requires early orthodontic intervention, Phase I treatment may be recommended. This treatment typically begins around the ages of 7 to 10 when the child still has a mix of primary and permanent teeth. Phase I treatment aims to correct specific orthodontic issues, such as jaw misalignment or severe crowding, to create a more favorable environment for the eruption of permanent teeth.

Adult orthodontics can address issues such as crowding, spacing, misalignment, and bite problems, improving both the function and appearance of your smile.
Orthodontic Options for Adults
As an adult, you may be hesitant to pursue orthodontic treatment due to concerns about aesthetics and lifestyle disruptions. However, there are various discreet and convenient orthodontic options available for adults:
Invisalign for Adults
Invisalign clear aligners are an ideal choice for adults seeking a virtually invisible orthodontic solution. The aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain optimal oral hygiene during treatment. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth, providing a discreet and comfortable treatment experience.
Ceramic Braces
For adults who prefer a more inconspicuous option but require traditional braces, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. These braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, minimizing their visibility while still effectively straightening your teeth.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are another discreet option for adult orthodontic treatment. These braces are placed on the backside of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. Lingual braces are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and effective treatment.
