What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontic treatment is aimed at straightening and enhancing the appearance of your smile. It's never too late to begin feeling confident about your smile, no matter your age. We tailor each treatment plan to meet your individual needs, making orthodontic care accessible and affordable for you.

What Are the Reasons for Needing Orthodontic Treatment?

Having crooked or crowded teeth can cause a few problems. Firstly, it can affect your self-esteem and make you hesitant to smile. Additionally, it can make it challenging to properly clean and floss your teeth, potentially leading to tooth decay, gingivitis, and gum disease.

What Type of Person Would Benefit From Orthodontic Treatment?

We will evaluate your teeth to determine the best time for orthodontic treatment. There is no specific age requirement for getting started. It is recommended for parents to bring their children in for their first orthodontic consultation between the ages of seven and nine. For adults, it is never too late to begin improving the appearance of your smile.

What Occurs During Orthodontic Treatment?

To begin, we will conduct an examination, take x-rays, and provide you with a consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss the orthodontic options available to you, allowing you to choose the best option for your needs and budget. We will work closely with you to determine the system that aligns with your smile goals. Throughout your treatment, you can expect regular visits for adjustments or new aligners as needed. The duration of your treatment can vary from a few months to two to three years, depending on the necessary work.
