Understanding your options
Controlled tooth movement for alignment and bite.
A straight smile is only one part of orthodontics. Treatment planning also considers how the upper and lower teeth meet, gum health, facial balance and long-term stability.
You may need an assessment for
- Crowding, spacing or teeth that are out of position
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite concerns
- Relapse after earlier orthodontic treatment
Planning usually considers
- Growth, jaw relationship and bite complexity
- Metal, aesthetic or other suitable appliance options
- Cleaning, review visits and retention after treatment
