Orthodontic care refers to the movement of teeth. This dental specialty deals with problems of malocclusion (ill fitting teeth), problems with the temporalmandibular joint (TMJ), and cosmetic tooth correction.
Modern orthodontic treatment includes phase one care (the placement of removable appliances in patients age 6 through 12). This interceptive treatment is designed to take advantage of the rapid growth during this time and help correct the form and function of the dentition. This care can shorten and lessen the period required for the child to be in standard braces.
The introduction of the INVISALIGN tray system has revolutionized the care in adult patients. This system relies upon a series of trays to move the teeth and because no wires or brackets are used, patient acceptance has been excellent.
In patients with severe skeletal alignment problems, orthodontic treatment, in combination with surgery, may be required to achieve the best functional and cosmetic results.
All of our orthodontists are skilled in all aspects of modern orthodontic care and can provide a complementary consultation.
