Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is prescribed to correct a number of common problems. Many people may need orthodontic treatment to correct an “unsatisfactory bite” that has been caused by crowding teeth or extra teeth. Other people may need treatment to realign a jaw that is out of place due to genetics or due to an accident. Many people want to correct one or more crooked teeth caused by thumb-sucking, premature or late loss of baby teeth, or a wide variety of other causes.
Crooked Teeth and Jaw out of alignment Orthodontic treatment is an effective solution for crooked teeth and a jaw that is out of alignment.
Orthodontic brackets bonded Most treatments require brackets to be bonded to your teeth and a wire running from tooth to tooth.
Retainers for Orthodontics Once your teeth have been repositioned, you may be required to wear a temporary retainer to keep your teeth in position.
Straight and Beautiful Teeth Upon completion of your treatment, your teeth will be straight and beautiful, improving your overall health and confidence.
