Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.

WHAT ARE ORTHODONTICS?

Orthodontic treatment is designed to realign and correct the look of your smile. Regardless of your age, it’s never too late to start loving how you look. We customize each patient’s treatment plan so that you receive the care specific to your needs. Our goal is to make orthodontics as affordable and easy for you as possible.

WHY WOULD ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT BE NEEDED?

There are a couple of problems that come with having crooked or crowded teeth. The first issue is that your self-esteem can be impacted, and you might avoid smiling because of the way that you look. Another big problem is that it might be difficult or even impossible for you to completely clean and floss your teeth. This can lead to areas of tooth decay, gingivitis and even gum disease.

 
Orthodontics is the study and practice of altering the alignment of teeth and jaws with the use of braces, wires, plates, and other devices.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ORTHODONTICS?

We will examine your teeth to determine if and when you’d benefit the most from orthodontic treatment. There is no right age when it comes to having the work done. For parents, it’s a good idea to bring children in for their first orthodontic consultation around the time they are seven to nine years old. For adults, it’s never too late to start loving how your smile looks.
