Braces
At Smiles by Lorino, we provide modern and effective braces options to help you achieve the straight teeth you deserve. Our team collaborates closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
From traditional metal braces to more aesthetic choices, we monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve the best results.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a popular and discreet alternative to traditional braces, featuring clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible and removable.
This option is ideal for those seeking a less noticeable way to straighten their teeth, with treatment times varying from 12-18 months depending on case severity. Invisalign combines added comfort and practicality, making it a preferred choice for adults and teens alike.
TMJ Treatments
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) can lead to discomfort, pain, and stiffness in the jaw. At Smiles by Lorino, we provide effective solutions to alleviate these symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
Our treatments include customized splints or mouthguards that relieve jaw joint pressure, as well as comprehensive orthodontic approaches like braces or Invisalign to help realign your bite and reduce TMJ strain.
Sleep Apnea Solutions
Sleep apnea can significantly affect your health and well-being. We offer orthodontic solutions that include customized oral appliances worn at night to maintain open airways, preventing snoring and breathing interruptions.
For some patients, adjusting the alignment of their teeth and jaws with braces or Invisalign can also improve breathing during sleep.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Specializing in dentofacial orthopedics, we focus on correcting and enhancing facial growth and development.
This branch of orthodontics helps improve facial symmetry and aesthetics by addressing the skeletal structure of the face, making it ideal for patients needing correction of facial asymmetry or disproportions.
Surgical Orthodontics
For more complex cases where traditional treatments are insufficient, surgical orthodontics may be necessary to correct severe structural issues. Our team is skilled in combining orthodontic treatment with surgical interventions to achieve optimal results, ensuring that each procedure is managed with the highest level of expertise.
Retainers
After your teeth have been straightened, maintaining the results is crucial. We provide custom-made Vivera retainers, crafted with precision technology to fit your teeth perfectly. Made from clear, durable materials, these retainers are comfortable, virtually invisible, and designed to ensure your smile remains beautiful for years to come.
