Orthodontics/Braces

Orthodontics/Braces

The goal of orthodontic treatment is to create a beautiful healthy smile through tooth and jaw alignment. Straight teeth make it easier for you to bite, chew and speak. This can enhance your dental health, your overall health, and your self-esteem.

If you or your child have any of the below signs, you may be in need of braces:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Sucking the thumb or fingers, or other oral habits
• Crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
• Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or are recessed
• Mouth breathing
• Speech difficulty
• Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth
• Protruding teeth
• Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don’t meet at all
• Facial imbalance or asymmetry (features out of proportion to the rest of the face)
• Grinding or clenching of teeth
• Inability to comfortably close lips
