When you make an appointment for an orthodontic consultation, you are getting over thirty years of my professional opinion. I hope to find out what concerns you most, and start building a relationship with you.
Orthodontic treatment is a type of dental treatment that addresses teeth and jaws that are incorrectly positioned. Most people have not been blessed with perfectly aligned teeth naturally and as such, the number of referrals for orthodontic treatment is growing every year.
Most people are unhappy with at least one aspect of their smile and while there are a variety of issues that can create this unhappiness, the most common complaint is crooked or gapped teeth. If either of these reasons is why you aren’t completely happy with your smile, then it’s time to do something about it!
Most people will need to maintain teeth alignment after being treated by an orthodontist (not everyone!). A retainer is a dental appliance that is either removable by the patient or is not. Retention is the longest phase of orthodontic care, and will require maintenance, like anything else.
Your bite (occlusion) is critical in the correct function of your teeth and jaws. Your orthodontist is the bite expert! Dentists are trained in aligning artificial teeth for esthetics and function. Orthodontists spend 2 or 3 extra years training on aligning your natural teeth!
