Treatments

Orthodontic care is obtained to move or straighten teeth, which helps improve the appearance of your smile over time. An incorrect bite can lead to long-term dental problems and/or jaw or head pain. Straightening your teeth helps prevent both tooth decay and gum disease. They are also easier to clean.

Traditional Braces - Children and Adults


Metal or clear ceramic brackets are used to move and align teeth. Wires are placed in the brackets to aid in the alignment process. Appliances such as a Herbst or Rapid Palatal Expander are used in conjunction with braces to correct jaw discrepancies in growing individuals.
