A pair of braces is an investment that can make a long-term difference. Our orthodontic services are about more than just aligning the teeth for aesthetic purposes. They are about caring for the lifelong health of your mouth and jaw. A misalignment or a lack of proper space inside the mouth can have several effects, from jaw and tooth pain to eating challenges and even breathing troubles. Some common mouth conditions that may require braces include:

• Crossbite: The upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
• Overbite: The upper teeth overlap the lower teeth.
• Underbite: The lower teeth sit farther out than the upper teeth.
• Open bite: The upper and lower teeth do not touch.
• Tooth crowding: Tooth crowding causes misalignment and overlapping when there is not enough space in the mouth.
• Protrusions: The upper front teeth extend too far forward.

A great time to address these types of issues is during childhood, when the body is still in development. However, we work to correct misalignments and other conditions for both children and adults.

When you request an appointment with us, we’ll conduct a full evaluation for you or your child to find the root cause of any functional issues. We can then fit you or your child with braces to align the teeth properly, increasing comfort, functionality and quality of life.
