Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment avoids metal brackets while correcting misalignment. Patients enjoy removable trays for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically lasting 9-15 months for adults.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces offer advanced orthodontic correction with friction-free technology. These braces reduce adjustment needs and treatment time while improving comfort. Theyre ideal for complex cases requiring precise tooth movement and bite correction.
iTero Scanning
iTero scanning provides high-resolution 3D mouth imaging for accurate treatment planning. This technology eliminates traditional molds, enhances diagnostic precision, and allows virtual treatment outcome simulations for better patient understanding and confidence.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery corrects severe bite issues and facial imbalances through coordinated orthodontic and surgical care. Our team collaborates with specialists to optimize function and aesthetics, ensuring comprehensive solutions for improved chewing, speech, and appearance.
Orthodontic Consultation
Complimentary consultations include X-rays, digital scans, and personalized treatment plans. Patients receive cost estimates, timeline projections, and guidance on insurance coverage to make informed decisions about their orthodontic care journey.
