Why get braces? Because a smile is a priceless, precious asset ? one that can last for a lifetime. Beautiful smiles help build confidence, and investing in orthodontic treatment today means you can enjoy the benefits of a super smile for years to come.

It's not just about appearance, either. "Malocclusions" or "bad bites", can affect the way you chew or talk, and can even lead to more serious (and expensive) oral health problems. Here are some of the common conditions that can be corrected with orthodontic treatment:

Crowded teeth: teeth are crooked, turned, or "overlapping"
Overbite: the upper jaw or teeth are too far in front, or the lower too far back
Under bite: the lower jaw or teeth are too far in front, or the upper too far back
Over jet (Protrusion): the upper teeth stick out and do not fit with the lower front teeth
Spacing: teeth that have gaps or spaces between them.
