Services Rendered
Braces: Conventional braces and tooth-colored braces are available.
Functional Orthopedic Appliances (FOAs): These growth stimulating appliances help lengthen a growing child's lower jaw to treat overbites, create more room for teeth, reduce the need for tooth extraction before braces, and often reduce the time necessary in braces.
Expansion and Other Appliances: Many children have crowded teeth, cross bites, overbites, deep bites or underbites that can be created treated by using one of a variety of appliances. Depending on the child's level of cooperation, the appliances can be either removable or cemented.
Reasons to Seek Orthodontic Treatment
Overlapping/Crowding: Straight teeth are easier to clean, supporting tissues stay healthier and there is less discomfort with appropriate tooth alignment.
Permanent Teeth Erupt Before Baby Teeth Fall Out: Children need to be evaluated if their adult teeth begin erupting before their baby teeth have fallen out.
Unusual Jaw Relationships: Large overbites with teeth protruding, receding or retruded lower jaws, and mismatched upper and lower jaw size or shape should be evaluated. Psychologists have noted that properly aligned teeth enhance a child's self image or self esteem.
Your oral health is our primary concern.
We look forward to meeting you!
