What is Orthodontics

It is more than just straightening teeth

Orthodontics is about how you grow facially, how this functions and how good you look.  Your smile is with you for life. It not only enhances your health and appearance, it also adds self-esteem and confidence. Orthodontics is a smart investment in your dental, physical and emotional health.

Orthodontic treatment deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems associated with the growth and alignment of teeth and jaws within the overall facial structures. Treatment involves the design and use of corrective appliances, such as braces, expanders, headgears, functional appliances and even surgery, to bring the teeth and jaws into an improved alignment with the facial structures.
