Dentofacial Orthopedics & Orthodontics
We provide orthodontic, or dentofacial orthopedic, services including traditional braces, clear aligners, and a variety of removable and fixed appliances.
It is our philosophy that crooked teeth and malocclusions are a symptom and that the underlying cause is improper skeletal or jawbone growth. Our approach to orthodontics aims to address these developmental issues as well as the environmental factors that contribute to their occurrence such as diet, pacifier or finger sucking, restricted oral tissues, dysfunctional muscle use in the mouth and face, mouth breathing habits, and posture of the tongue, lips, cheeks, jaw and head.
Using orthodontic tools to correct the structure is only one piece of the puzzle- the function, habits, behaviors, and lifestyle factors must also be addressed to ensure a stable and long-lasting result. When done right, we believe that comprehensive orthodontic treatment not only improves one’s facial beauty, but their overall health and wellness.

Traditional Braces: Time-Tested Orthodontic Care for a Beautiful Smile
Traditional braces are a reliable and effective solution for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues, offering long-lasting results for both children and adults. Made of metal brackets, wires, and elastic bands, they apply continuous pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. While they are the most visible orthodontic option, they remain one of the most effective for addressing complex dental concerns, such as severe crowding, misalignment, and bite issues. Dr. Ahmed Shawky, board-certified orthodontist, is dedicated to providing excellent care and personalized treatment plans. With years of experience in orthodontics, he ensures that traditional braces are used to their full potential, delivering the best results. Whether you're correcting minor misalignments or more complex bite problems, Dr. Ahmed Shawky will guide you through every step, making your treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.
Benefits of Traditional Braces:
- Proven Effectiveness: Traditional braces are highly effective in treating a wide range of dental problems, from minor misalignment to more complex bite issues. Sometimes, traditional braces are a better alternative for children, as they don’t rely on patient compliance.
- Durability: Metal braces are strong, durable, and designed to withstand the daily pressures of chewing and biting.
- Customizable Appearance: With various color options for the elastic bands, traditional braces can be personalized to suit your style or preferences.
- Comprehensive Treatment: Traditional braces are often the best option for complex orthodontic cases, providing precise control over tooth movement.
