Services
Protruding teeth are more susceptible to trauma
Crossbites can result in asymmetrical growth and uneven tooth wear
Openbites resulting from habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting can permanently deform the jaw bones
Severe Crowding can cause early loss of baby teeth and impaction of permanent teeth.
Most forms of early treatment are not full braces. Usually a retainer or other appliance, such as an expander, is used to solve the main problem. Then, once most or all of the permanent teeth are in, full braces are usually necessary.
Adult Treatment
It is never too late to straighten your teeth! As long as your general dentist feels that your gums and teeth are in good health, it is perfectly safe to have orthodontic treatment. This includes traditional braces as well as clear aesthetic braces and clear aligners.
Retainers
Retainers are quite possibly the most important part of treatment. While we can work hard to make your teeth straight, it is up to you to keep them that way. Many people in the past have blamed crowding after braces on wisdom teeth. However, recent studies have shown that even if a patient does not have wisdom teeth, his or her teeth will still tend to drift and become crooked with age. That is why retainers are a necessary part of treatment. We will follow you for 1 year after we take the braces off to monitor your retainer wear.
