Very few people have their teeth grow in naturally straight, which is why braces are such a common choice for patients of all ages. Whether you are looking for braces for your child, teen, or for yourself, you'll be happy to note that the field of orthodontics has come quite a long way in recent years, and you now have many options aside from the conventional metal braces that many patients dread.
Are you searching for straighter teeth? While orthodontics are often associated with braces and teenagers, this is not entirely the case; orthodontics are for everyone. Whether you are in search of straightening your child's teeth or your own, there is an orthodontic treatment available. Without early orthodontic treatment, jaw growth and alignment can be affected.
Everyone wants a straight and perfect smile, but achieving one used to mean committing yourself to conventional metal braces for months or even years at a time. These metal braces were not only uncomfortable to wear, they inhibit a patient's ability to properly clean their teeth during the straightening phase and they also can lead to issues with self-esteem.
If your teeth are misaligned, you may be looking into your options for straightening them so that you can restore the appearance of a healthy and naturally beautiful smile. However, many people frown at the thought of wearing clunky metal braces, especially if you are a teenager or adult. Fortunately, recent innovations have made it possible for many patients to enjoy straighter teeth without the need for any metal appliances.
If your teeth require straightening, you'll be happy to note that there are a variety of solutions today for you to choose from. However, traditional metal braces remain the most popular and effective option, especially if you require extensive realigning to achieve a perfect smile. If traditional metal braces are an option from your orthodontist, it's worth investigating this option further to consider both its advantages and disadvantages.

I took my daughter here to get an estimate for braces. The staff were nice but the orthodontist spent not even 2 full minutes looking at her mouth. She quickly decided the best treatment would be hardware for 2 years and extracting 4 adult teeth! My daughter is only 11 years old. When I questioned the Ortho why she really thought it was necessary to extract teeth she gave me a dirty look and told me bluntly that my daughters mouth is just too small. I took her elsewhere for a second opinion and she got a much better treatment plan without any extractions. The ortho and staff were so much better

If you are a stay at home mom with no other responsiblities this place is for you! If not, stay far away! They shame, guilt, and threaten you. As a single mom with two boys on the specturm including the patient I'm really doing my best. I work two jobs and couldn't bring him in on the day they wanted me to. Their annoyed response was, "Can't you ask his dad to bring him?" Clearly none of these people have gone through a divorce. (Sidenote: Dad didn't want him to get braces in the first place.) So, I called in to work to make an appointment because they guilted me saying it urgent and basically

Great staff!! Everyone was so helpful. I’m a single dad of 3 boys so any help is always good. I️ take my boys here for their dental cleaning and two of my sons were approved for braces by their insurance. Also my oldest will be having his wisdom teeth pulled soon. I️ definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great dentist that offers it all.
