Orthodontics

Orthodontics are used to treat a malocclusion (i.e., a bad bite), to straighten teeth and to correct jaw alignment. You may be familiar with traditional braces, which are usually made of metal and are noticeable when you speak or smile. Brackets, or the part of the braces that attach to each tooth, can now be made smaller and less noticeable by using materials that are clear or tooth-colored.

Another type of orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth over time. These aligners are more discreet than traditional braces. Prices and the length of treatment are different depending on your needs and wants. Aligners, however, are not suitable for every patient, so talk to us about the most appropriate treatment for you.
