Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-fitted, removable plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. This nearly invisible treatment allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
InBrace
InBrace applies hidden behind-the-teeth technology for faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment. This lingual system combines 21st-century innovation with traditional principles for complex bite corrections and tooth alignment.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces use smaller, sleeker brackets and wires for effective tooth movement. This cost-efficient option remains ideal for complex cases requiring precise adjustments and durable treatment solutions.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer tooth-colored brackets for less visible orthodontic treatment. These durable, stain-resistant braces provide aesthetic benefits while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional metal braces for moderate to severe misalignments.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated orthodontic and surgical treatment. This approach addresses functional issues like bite misalignment while improving facial symmetry and dental occlusion.
