Orthodontics Overview

What can braces do for you?

• Increase self-esteem by improving appearance, and decrease the likelihood of gum disease and premature loss of teeth by relieving stress on gums and bones, which results when teeth do not meet properly.
• Eliminate speech problems caused by protruding or misaligned teeth.
• Help reduce and treat jaw joint difficulties known as TMJ.
• Lower the incidence of decay in crowded, overlapping teeth
• Make the jawbone develop so there is less need to extract adult teeth.
• Help correct poorly grown jaws in adults with a combination of orthodontics and jaw surgery.
