There are a number of causes of orthodontic issues. Most commonly, patients are simply born with a genetic predisposition for dental misalignment. It’s very rare for anyone to have teeth that are completely naturally. Some environmental factors may also impact bite alignment. For instance, patients who were not weaned from the bottle early enough, those who have chewing or biting habits, and patients who grind and clench their teeth may be more likely to experience orthodontic concerns.

Before we begin treatment, we’ll use patient oral and overall health history, visual examination, and digital x-rays to make an accurate diagnosis of smile alignment concerns. We’ll use digital impressions and CT scans to plan for teeth to shift into the most comfortable, natural alignment. Typically, orthodontic treatment can take between twelve and eighteen months. However, in rare cases, treatment may be completed in as little as six months or as long as thirty months.

We see patients for the following orthodontic corrections:
