Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned

improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep

clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause

extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck,

shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract

from one's appearance.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing

appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.
