One of the biggest advantages of orthodontic treatment is achieving a beautiful, confident smile with straight, well-aligned teeth and healthy gums. At The Art of Smile, Dr. Dr. Segal has years of experience helping both children and adults straighten their teeth using the latest, most efficient techniques for fast and stunning results.

It’s often best to begin orthodontic treatment before all of the permanent teeth have come in. We recommend assessing children by age 7 when the first permanent molars and incisors typically appear. At this stage, issues like cross-bites, crowding, and misalignment can be identified and addressed. Early intervention helps guide the growth of the dental arches, creates space for incoming teeth, and can prevent the need for tooth extractions later on. At The Art of Smile, we use advanced European and American techniques to provide early treatment that simplifies future care, while addressing thumb-sucking, abnormal swallowing, and speech issues.

Orthodontics isn’t just for teenagers—healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and it’s never too late to enhance your smile and dental health. At The Art of Smile, we treat one in every four patients who is an adult, with successful results in addressing bite issues, crooked teeth, and the regression of prior orthodontic treatments.

Adult orthodontics offers several benefits, including correcting jaw and bite problems, improving alignment, and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. It can also relieve headaches and jaw pain caused by misalignment. For those concerned about the appearance of traditional braces, modern solutions like Invisalign^® clear aligners and fast-track clear ceramic braces provide a discreet, comfortable, and efficient way to achieve a beautiful smile in less time. With advancements in technology, orthodontic treatment for adults is more accessible and effective than ever.
