Orthodontics focuses on issues such as straightening teeth and correcting improper bite patterns. Straight teeth and a well aligned jaw are crucial to being able to talk, chew and speak properly, as well as avoiding potential problems such as teeth grinding and TMJ. Orthodontists are registered dental specialists who have spent an additional 3 years of full- time university training concentrating on jaw growth and development, biology and biomechanics. If you are concerned about jaw or teeth problems, contact us today for a consultation. Braces are used for straightening teeth not positioned properly, and this treatment may take between 18 to 24 months to complete. Braces can also help with the proper functioning of the teeth and can reduce the risk of tooth decay or gum disease. Discover how you can get a straight smile using the world’s most advanced technology. A great solution for teenagers and adults who are would rather not wear traditional braces. Invisalign is a series of clear aligners worn a (minimum) of 22 hours a day for best results. This treatment option allows you to remove the aligners when you eat or go to an event.
