Orthodontics is a field of dentistry associated with the prevention and correction of improper teeth alignment. Teeth that are crooked or misaligned are more difficult to manage over time, putting your mouth at risk for developing tooth decay, TMJ syndrome or periodontal disease. By receiving treatment early, you can prevent many extensive restorations later on.

If you struggle with any of the following, you may benefit from orthodontic treatment:

• Crowded or gapped teeth
• Open bites
• Underbites
• Overbites
• Crossbites

Our dentists may recommend orthodontic treatment to help patients improve not only the health and function of their smile but their appearance, as well. By correcting the alignment of your teeth, you can achieve a straighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile. There are many types of orthodontic treatments, including braces, custom appliances, retainers and several others. Our dentists will meet with you and, according to the state of your oral health and the current alignment of your teeth, help craft a plan of treatment best suited for your needs.
