Orthodontics involves the diagnosis, prevention and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. Common treatments include braces, retainers and clear aligners, catering to patients from children to seniors.

Our orthodontist will begin each case with a detailed evaluation. This includes reviewing dental history, performing a clinical exam and taking diagnostic images to assess alignment, bone structure and bite mechanics. These records help develop a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific orthodontic needs. Proper alignment not only improves aesthetics but also supports better oral hygiene, reduces wear on teeth and alleviates strain on the jaw joints.

Orthodontic treatment is most effective when timing and oral development are carefully considered. Our orthodontist and team evaluate dental growth patterns and eruption sequences to determine the ideal time to begin treatment, particularly in children and adolescents. Early orthodontic evaluations help identify developmental concerns such as impacted teeth or jaw discrepancies. Addressing these concerns early can minimize the need for more complex procedures later and often leads to more efficient and predictable outcomes.

Orthodontic treatment also supports broader oral health by improving the alignment of the bite, which contributes to better chewing efficiency and reduces stress on the temporomandibular joints. Misaligned teeth and jaws can contribute to difficulties with eating, speaking and even breathing in some cases. By correcting these functional concerns, our orthodontist and team help patients experience improvements not only in their dental health but also in their overall comfort and daily function. Orthodontic care is a valuable investment in long-term wellness and quality of life.
