Orthodontics is a specialty field of dentistry which deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of bite problems due to misaligned teeth and/or jaws.

​

An orthodontist is a dentist who is specialized in the field of orthodontics. An orthodontic examination consists of an in-person examination of the face, teeth, and soft tissues such as gums, jaw functions and relations of the upper and lower teeth. The clinician then takes extra-oral (outside of the mouth, ie. photographs of the face) and intra-oral (photographs of teeth and gums) photographs, orders x-rays and makes study models to finalize the diagnosis and treatment plan. 

​

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to create a smile that is functional, esthetic and stable in the long term. Our specialty is dedicated to understanding the development of dentition and facial characteristics and applying this vast knowledge to the unique needs of our patients.

 

Orthodontic care offers various treatment options tailored to address a wide range of orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, crooked teeth, and misaligned bites. Whether you are considering traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or lingual braces, our team will guide you in selecting the best type of treatment to achieve your goals. Each approach is designed to improve both the appearance and functionality of your smile while promoting long-term dental health.
 

Correcting orthodontic problems such as thumb sucking or addressing concerns with permanent teeth early on can prevent complications later in life, such as periodontal diseases or uneven wear on the teeth. Our focus is not only on straightening your teeth but also on enhancing overall dental care and maintaining optimal oral hygiene throughout the process.
 

By addressing your unique needs, we help improve jaw alignment and dental harmony, paving the way for a healthy, confident smile. At every step of the journey, our comprehensive orthodontic care ensures that your treatment is both effective and comfortable.
