Do you offer clear invisible aligners at the clinic?

Yes. We work with custom digital aligner systems that straighten teeth discreetly without visible metal brackets.

What age can someone start orthodontic treatment?

There is no upper age limit as long as periodontal bone and gum tissues are healthy. We treat adult patients well into their 50s and 60s.

What precautions should I take with brackets?

Avoid sticky, hard foods like whole nuts, chewing gum, and biting directly into apples or carrots with front teeth.
