What are Braces?
Braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth while correcting bite issues. Through the application of gentle, sustained pressure, braces gradually reposition teeth into their ideal alignment. They come in various types, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and self-ligating options like Damon braces, offering a solution for every lifestyle and need.
Benefits of Braces
Braces correct alignment and bite issues, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and jaw pain.
Straightening your teeth can boost your self-esteem, making you feel confident in your smile.
From discreet clear braces to traditional styles, there’s a braces option to fit your preferences and lifestyle.
Properly aligned teeth and corrected bites provide benefits that last a lifetime.

Types of Braces We Offer
Metal Braces (Damon®)
We utilize self-ligating Damon® braces designed to eliminate the need for elastic ties. These braces use a specialized slide mechanism that reduces friction and allows for smoother, faster movement of teeth. This means fewer appointments and a more efficient and comfortable treatment process.
