Services
Braces
Traditional braces correct misaligned teeth and bite issues through precision brackets and wires. Our Damon System braces use gentle forces to protect dental health while achieving natural-looking results. Treatment includes regular adjustments and personalized care plans to ensure optimal oral function and aesthetics.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet teeth straightening with removable clear aligners. Using iTero Element Scanner technology, we create custom 3D treatment plans. These virtually invisible aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene while gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment for improved appearance and function.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses skeletal irregularities affecting bite and facial appearance. We coordinate with oral surgeons to develop comprehensive treatment plans. This combined approach improves chewing, speaking, and breathing while creating balanced facial aesthetics through precise surgical and orthodontic interventions.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use advanced self-ligating technology for more comfortable tooth movement. These high-tech brackets eliminate the need for elastic ties, reducing friction and treatment time. The system promotes healthier gums and teeth during alignment while delivering natural, beautiful smile transformations.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. We provide both fixed and removable options with precise fit for long-term stability. Our team educates patients on proper care and wear schedules to ensure lasting results from previous braces or aligner treatments.
