Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on correcting misaligned or crooked teeth. While most orthodontic treatments typically occur during the teenage years, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation between the ages of six and seven. Early
assessments allow us to address potential problems before they develop. For example, we can use space maintainers to help prevent overcrowding and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on.

Thanks to advancements in dental technology, traditional metal braces are no longer the only option. Ceramic braces, which blend with the natural color of your teeth, offer a less noticeable alternative, making them a more discreet option for patients concerned about appearance.

For those who prefer a completely modern and flexible approach, Invisalign and Illusion clear aligners are a popular choice. These nearly invisible systems are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into alignment without the use of traditional brackets and wires.

After the active phase of orthodontic treatment, it’s essential to maintain your results. That’s where retainers come in, helping to hold your teeth in their new positions. Retainers can be either removable or fixed discreetly behind the teeth, depending on your needs.

And remember, there’s no age limit for orthodontic treatment! Adult orthodontics is more popular than ever, and no matter your age, we’re here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
