Early Interceptive Orthodontics

Did you know that children as young as 5 can benefit from Early Interceptive Orthodontics?  Early treatment helps guide the muscle and jaw development by using painless growth appliances.  These appliances help make room for all of the permanent teeth and reduce the need for extractions.  By using this technique there is less time required in traditional “braces”.

Functional Appliance Therapy

In many cases children require orthodontic treatment with Functional Appliances.  These may be used to correct bite problems which have already developed.  They are used to treat narrow arches, crowding, deep overbites, airway problems, and jaw joint problems.  The benefits of treating with functional appliances include a shorter time in traditional braces, reduce or eliminate the need for the extraction of permanent teeth, and produce a beautiful, broad smile.

Adult Orthodontics

Think Orthodontic treatment is just for kids?  No, adults can benefit from treatment as much as children.  Some benefits for adults include: greater ease in chewing, treatment of jaw pain, increased self esteem, and decreased tooth loss due to periodontal disease.
