Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use custom-fitted, removable trays to gradually straighten teeth. Patients change aligners every 10-14 days under professional supervision. This method suits disciplined individuals seeking discreet treatment for mild to moderate misalignment.
Conventional Braces
Traditional fixed appliances correct complex dental issues like severe crowding and malocclusions. Available in metal, ceramic, or colored brackets, they require regular adjustments over 12-30 months depending on case complexity.
Early Treatment
Interceptive orthodontics for children aged 7-11 addresses developmental issues like crossbites and jaw discrepancies. Early intervention often prevents more invasive treatments later while guiding proper dental arch formation.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combined orthodontic and surgical correction treats severe skeletal discrepancies. This approach realigns jaws and teeth for functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement in cases unresponsive to non-surgical methods.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatments address age-related dental concerns including crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Options like Invisalign provide discreet solutions for adults seeking improved oral health and confidence.
