Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth.
Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases.
And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter.
Some bite problems are much easier to treat if they are caught at an early age.
That's why all children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if it's not yet time to begin treatment.
