Orthodontic treatment is an effective solution for crooked teeth and a jaw that is out of alignment.
Most treatments require brackets to be bonded to your teeth and a wire running from tooth to tooth.
Once your teeth have been repositioned, you may be required to wear a temporary retainer to keep your teeth in position.
Upon completion of your treatment, your teeth will be straight and beautiful, improving your overall health and confidence.Orthodontic treatment involves straightening your teeth and correcting bite issues to improve the positioning of your smile. Our orthodontic options at Skinner Dental can give you a straighter smile while helping you maintain better oral health in the long term by creating a stronger, healthier bite.
