Orthodontics & Braces

While both general dentistry and orthodontics are critical components of dental care, each varies in its treatments and results. General dentistry focuses on the health of your teeth, while orthodontics is an extended branch of dentistry that concentrates on something called malocclusions, which simply means how your teeth fit together.

Orthodontic treatments may be necessary to repair:

• Improper bites
• Jaw misalignment
• Teeth crowding
• Overbites and underbites
• Crooked teeth
• Facial reconstruction
• And more

The most common way we approach orthodontic treatment is by applying braces to your teeth. Braces work by gently moving your teeth, about one millimeter per month, and aligning them so that they are straight.

Another popular orthodontic treatment is by using a clear aligner therapy like Invisalign®! With this method, a series of clear aligners are created in stages as your teeth are slowly guided into position. With each stage, your teeth become straighter until the aligners are no longer needed and both your smile and bite are pristine! The best part is, Invisalign® is virtually invisible, meaning that if you don’t like the look of traditional braces, there are options available to make you feel the most comfortable.
