Dr.Vasquez uses discreet Invisalign aligners to fix bite misalignments with an emphasis on cultivating radiant, healthy smiles while safeguarding your natural teeth and oral architecture as much as possible. Post-treatment, many individuals notice a boost in self-esteem and healthier oral habits, enhanced chewing and speaking abilities, and minimized wear on teeth over time.
This minimally invasive technique is used to treat white spot lesions on the teeth, often caused by demineralization or early decay, by penetrating the enamel. This effectively masks the white spots without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure.
Dr.Vasquez is experienced in a range of treatment options to relieve jaw pain, headaches, and clenching. Offering bite adjustments and orthodontics to provide comfort through proper bite alignment, TMJ splints to facilitate proper joint alignment, and Botox for TMJ relief by momentarily easing overactive muscles while preserving essential jaw functions.
