Orthodontics is a dental specialty that corrects the position of improperly positioned teeth and maxillary bones. Crooked teeth or teeth that don’t fit properly are difficult to keep clean and can be lost early due to deterioration and periodontal disease. They also put additional stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Crooked or misplaced teeth also detract from your appearance.
Orthodontic treatment makes the mouth healthier, provides a more pleasing appearance and teeth that are likely to last a lifetime.
