Their range of treatments includes: Metal Braces: Traditional and highly effective for various orthodontic issues. Clear Braces: A more discreet option than metal braces, utilizing translucent ceramic materials. Lingual Braces: Completely hidden braces placed on the tongue side of the teeth, offering an invisible treatment solution. Clear Aligners: A popular alternative to braces for discreet teeth straightening, offering flexibility and convenience. Phase 1 Early Orthodontic Treatment: Interceptive treatment for children, typically between ages 7-10, to guide jaw development, address crowding or spacing, and create room for permanent teeth. This can also involve addressing airway and breathing concerns. Palatal Expanders: Used to widen the upper jaw, correcting crossbites and creating space for crowded teeth, which can also improve breathing. Treatment for TMD/TMJ Disorder: Addressing jaw pain and discomfort by correcting bite alignment and supporting soft tissue balance. Orthodontic Airway Support: A whole-picture approach that considers jaw position, tongue posture, and airway health to promote better breathing and overall development.
