Why is straightening teeth important for my health, not just my appearance?

Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which can lower your risk of cavities and gum disease. A well-aligned bite can also help reduce uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and even some types of headaches. Looking great is a bonus—your smile can actually be healthier and more comfortable too.

How do orthodontists fix crooked teeth and misaligned jaws?

We use customized treatment plans involving braces, clear braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign. These gently apply pressure over time to move teeth into better positions. In some cases, we also use elastics or other appliances to help improve how the upper and lower teeth fit together.

Do I need braces, or can I do Invisalign instead?

That depends on your specific teeth and bite. Many patients are good candidates for either braces or Invisalign, and we’ll explain the pros and cons of each. At your free consultation, we’ll examine your smile, talk about your goals, and recommend the option that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
