Orthodontics is a special kind of dentistry for children and adults. It involves the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.

Without treatment, most situations become worse. Early treatment intervention by an orthodontist can help. Our practice involves the design, application, and use of appliances to correct problems of the teeth, jaw and face that, for any reason, have assumed abnormal positions. In the absence of treatment tooth decay, tooth loss, and gum disease are possible results. The increased cost of dental care for these problems may far exceed the cost of orthodontic care now.

In short, we can fix bite problems and effect major facial changes that can favorably alter a person's smile, profile and outlook on life.
