Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?

Absolutely! Our adult orthodontics are tailored to address specific dental concerns in adults, such as crooked teeth, misalignments, and bite issues, helping to improve both aesthetics and oral health.

At what age should my child start orthodontic treatment?

We recommend an initial evaluation around the age of seven, as interceptive orthodontics can identify potential issues early and guide proper dental development, optimizing long-term results and reducing the need for extensive treatment later.

Are sports mouth guards necessary for athletes?

Yes, sports mouth guards are essential in protecting teeth during athletic activities. Our custom-fitted mouth guards provide optimal comfort and ensure maximum protection against dental injuries.

ow do habit breakers devices work?

Habit breakers devices are designed to help children overcome harmful oral habits, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, by creating a physical barrier and redirecting the behavior, promoting healthy dental development.

Can orthodontic treatment help with TMJ pain?

Yes, our specialized TMD treatments are tailored to alleviate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and discomfort by addressing underlying causes, improving jaw function, and providing relief from associated symptoms.
