Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry focused on treating irregularities of teeth and faces. Straight teeth help an individual to effectively bite, chew and speak. Properly aligned teeth and jaws can prevent physical health problems occurring in the future as well as contributing to healthy teeth and gums now. 

Focused on straightening teeth and altering bone growth within the mouth; Orthodontics can amend a number dental and jaw abnormalities. Impacted (trapped in the jaw bone), turned, crowded, spaced, or even teeth which are missing altogether may benefit from Orthodontic treatment. Treatment to resolve these conditions can take between 6 to 30 months depending upon the age of the patient and the severity of the problem.

An attractive smile is also a pleasant “side effect” of Orthodontic treatment. A beautiful smile is a wonderful asset. A patient's facial appearance may also improve as Orthodontic treatment brings teeth and lips into proportion. In this way, Orthodontic treatment can be valuable both professionally and socially, as well as improve a patient's general attitude toward life.

Beneficial to both adults and children alike; Orthodontics will correct bite and the positioning of your teeth. There is no age beyond which orthodontic treatment cannot be undertaken. "It is never too late to go straight".
