We will advise you of any problem and the necessary corrective treatment.
This appointment will also include Diagnostic Records if treatment is indicated.
Records will be taken to enable the doctor to study the problems and determine the corrective procedures.
We will take a digital impression of the teeth, and In most cases we can show a simulation of what the teeth will look like when finished.

Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose and treat problems with the position, alignment or spacing of the teeth, and related irregularities in the face and the jaw.
We use a number of special treatments, including braces and other oral appliances, to correct these problems.
There are two good reasons: aesthetics and function.
Having an attractive smile not only changes the way people see you - it enhances your own self-image as well.
Orthodontic treatment also allows your teeth to function better and makes it easier to keep them clean, which can improve your overall health.

Orthodontic problems can affect both children and adults - even those who wore braces when they were young.
That's because teeth are more mobile than you might think.
In fact, teeth move very gradually all the time in response to the normal forces of biting and chewing.
But the teeth can also be pushed out of proper alignment when, for example, young children develop unhealthy habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.
These and other orthodontic problems usually become apparent around age 7, when the permanent teeth have started to come in.
