Look for these signs that indicate you or your child might need orthodontic care:
- Crowded teeth
- Misaligned bite
- Protruding teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Jaw pain or frequent headaches
- Grinding teeth
If you notice any of these signs, contact us to schedule an assessment.
Orthodontic treatment improves oral health by making it easier maintain clean teeth and gums, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease, and enhancing their bite. Properly aligned teeth also boost confidence and lead to a more confident smile.
Additional benefits include:
- Enhanced facial aesthetics
- Improved pronunciation
- Reduced risk of injury to protruding teeth
- Improved self-esteem
If you’re a candidate for braces or Invisalign, we can start treatment the same day as the consultation. This avoids the need for another appointment and gets you one step closer to a healthy smile.
