Areas of Expertise
Orthodontics (Braces)
Braces use brackets and wires to align teeth and correct bites. Adjustments apply gentle pressure over time. You achieve balanced function and a straight smile.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners to move teeth gradually. The aligners do not contain any metal wires and can be removed while eating.
Invisalign+ For Kids
Invisalign+ For Kids straightens teeth in children aged 5 to 18, making use of their natural growth spurts to guide teeth into place and create a functional, stable bite.
Clear Retainer
Clear retainers maintain teeth positions after orthodontic treatment. The removable, transparent tray fits over your teeth. The appliance helps keep teeth in their corrected positions over time.
