Braces

If your child has lost most of his baby teeth, we recommend that they meet us for an orthodontic consultation. Most patients wear braces for only one to two years. By the way, orthodontics aren't just for kids, adults are discovering the benefits of having a better bite and nicer smile too.

Treatment involves X-Rays, Models & Photographs

Orthodontics is a special discipline of dentistry concerned with aligning the teeth and jaws to improve one's smile and oral health. A dentist usually recommends braces to improve the person's physical appearance. Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, bites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected.
Orthodontic treatment can be done at nearly any age. An ideal time for placement of braces is between 10 and 14 years of age. Braces aren't just for kids. More and more adults are also wearing braces to correct minor problems and to improve their smiles.
Braces most popular type are brackets, metal or plastic,ceramic that are bonded to teeth and are far less noticeable. Wires are used to move the teeth to the desired position.

Early and Interceptive Treatment
If your child has a problem that requires attention, your orthodontist may recommend interceptive treatment. Early intervention, which takes advantage of facial growth and tooth eruption, can lessen the severity of a problem, and it frequently makes the completion of treatment at a later age less time consuming.
