Orthodontics is the treatment of irregularities of the teeth, jaws, and bite relationship in children and adults.
Patients who may benefit from orthodontic care include those with:
- Crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
- Spaced teeth
- Protruding teeth
- Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or do not meet at all
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or are recessed
- Facial imbalance or asymmetry (features out of proportion to the rest of the face)
Orthodontic care doesn’t just give you a beautiful smile. It improves self-esteem, enhances facial appearance, may help you avoid tooth decay or gum disease, and puts you in a position to have the very best oral health possible.
Services Include
- Braces for children and adults
- Clear aligners (Invisalign®) for children and adults
- Corrective jaw surgery (Surgical Orthodontics)
- Lingual “hidden” braces for children and adults
