Services
Braces
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Our tooth-colored options provide discreet treatment for children and adults. Treatment duration varies from months to years depending on individual needs and jawbone density, with adjustment intervals extending up to eight weeks thanks to heat-activated wire technology.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers removable, nearly invisible aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Custom 3D imaging maps treatment progression, with aligner changes every two weeks. Patients receive new sets every 6-8 weeks while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Average treatment duration spans 12 months with regular progress monitoring.
Elastics
Elastics apply targeted force to correct bite alignment when wire adjustments alone prove insufficient. Patients wear them full-time except during brushing, replacing daily to maintain effectiveness. Proper usage prevents treatment delays while broken bands require immediate replacement through our clinic's supply service.
Orthodontic Retainers
Retainers maintain post-treatment alignment through bonded, plate, or clear appliance options. Lower front teeth typically receive permanent bonded retainers while upper arches use removable clear versions worn primarily at night. Regular check-ups ensure proper fit and long-term stability of corrected positions.
Removable Appliances
Twin blocks and plates address jaw alignment and minor tooth movements through removable devices. Patients wear appliances 12-14 hours daily for effective results, with check-ups every 4-8 weeks. Custom color options and proper care routines enhance treatment compliance and appliance longevity.
