All About Orthodontic Treatment

So what exactly is orthodontic treatment? Orthodontic treatment is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting the alignment of the teeth using a variety of techniques and technologies. Fundamentally, all orthodontic treatments do the same thing: place gentle, constant, and precise forces on the teeth, influencing them to shift positions and creating a healthier overall alignment. After an active treatment phase usually lasting 6 to 24 months and a retention phase, your new smile will last you a lifetime.


What Conditions Can Orthodontic Treatment Fix?

Orthodontic treatment is used to correct malocclusions, also called bad bites. Malocclusions are imperfections in the alignment of the teeth and the jaws, and they range from barely noticeable to debilitatingly severe. We can treat any malocclusion with orthodontic treatment, including all of the following:

  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Mismatched Dental Midlines
  • Crowding
  • Spacing (gaps between teeth)
  • Openbite
  • Crossbite
