Service Overview
Straight teeth are not just cosmetic.
Orthodontics can address malocclusions such as gaps, crowding, crooked teeth, underbite, crossbite, overbite, and open bite.
Alignment can improve smile appearance, but it can also make teeth easier to clean, reduce abnormal enamel wear, support chewing and speech, and reduce bite related strain.
Why it matters
Alignment can affect gum health, enamel wear, TMJ strain, speech, eating, and hygiene access.
How it is planned
Photos, scans, bite analysis, and goals help determine whether braces, aligners, or retainers fit best.
What Orthodontics Addresses
If any of these sound familiar...
Crowded or overlapped teeth
Crowding can make hygiene harder and increase gum or decay risk.
Gaps between teeth
Spacing may affect smile proportions, bite stability, and food trapping.
Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Bite issues can contribute to wear, discomfort, and function problems.

Progress Reviews Ongoing visits keep movement on track.
01 Is orthodontics only cosmetic?
No. Alignment can affect cleaning, enamel wear, chewing, speech, gum health, and jaw comfort.
02 Are clear aligners the same as braces?
Both move teeth, but aligners are removable and transparent while braces are fixed. The right choice depends on the movement needed.
03 Will I need retainers?
Yes. Retention is usually needed after orthodontic treatment to help preserve the result.
