A "bad bite" is when a person's teeth or jaws do not fit together properly. These orthodontic problems can cause speech difficulty, premature wear of the teeth and protective enamel, and even increase the chance of injury to the teeth and jaw joints.

When you think of orthodontic treatment, the first things that come to mind are braces and retainers. But there’s more to orthodontics than that. Depending on your child’s unique case, we may use a Palatal Expander to help them achieve a beautiful smile.

The decision to get braces is a big one. It is an investment in your smile and can take an average of 18-24 months to complete treatment. But, the end result of a beautiful, healthy smile and bite is worth it!

Wouldn’t it be great if we could fix a smile in six minutes? While in some minor cases, treatment can be fully completed in six months or less, most cases require a longer treatment time.
