What Orthodontics Can Do for You

A straight, healthy smile boosts confidence and makes daily functions — like eating and speaking — easier. Proper alignment also helps prevent decay and gum disease because cleanings are more effective. Orthodontics uses gentle, steady force to guide teeth and jaws into a healthier, more beautiful position.

Fixing Bite & Alignment Issues

Orthodontic treatment can correct many bite problems such as overcrowding, spacing issues, and bite problems like crossbite, overbite, underbite, and open bite. Since teeth can move safely within their supporting ligament, braces and aligners can gradually improve bite function and long-term oral health.

For Children and Adults

Early orthodontic evaluation (around age 7) allows us to guide jaw growth and prevent bigger issues later. But adults benefit too — healthy teeth can move at any age! With options like ceramic braces and clear aligners, treatment is comfortable, discreet, and truly smile-transforming.

Types of Orthodontic Appliances

Modern orthodontics offers choices for every lifestyle. Metal braces are strong and reliable, ceramic braces blend in with your teeth, and clear aligners provide a nearly invisible, removable alternative. We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your smile goals.

Keeping Your Smile Straight: Retainers

When active treatment is complete, retainers play a vital role in holding your teeth in their new positions. This allows the surrounding bone and tissues to stabilize and prevents teeth from shifting back over time. Wearing your retainer as instructed protects your investment — and keeps your new smile looking amazing for years to come.
