Braces are dental appliances that have been successfully used to create millions of perfect smiles. Dr. Gallagher creates a custom treatment plan for each patient, giving you a new smile that lasts a lifetime! Invisalign(R) is a newer treatment that uses clear retainer-like appliances that slip over your teeth.
Not everyone is born with a beautiful, healthy smile. Most orthodontic problems such as crowding, spacing, protrusion, extra or missing teeth, and some jaw growth problems are inherited and cannot be prevented. Others are acquired by habits such as thumb or finger-sucking, dental or medical disease, accidents, or the early or late loss of baby (primary) teeth.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child get an orthodontic check up no later than age 7 in order to diagnose problems with jaw growth, harmful oral habits, and future crowding of erupting permanent teeth. The reason for this recommendation is that, by age 7, the first adult molars and front incisors have fully erupted, establishing the bite.
