Braces
Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten and align teeth, as well as to correct bite issues. They consist of brackets attached to the teeth and wires that gently apply pressure to move the teeth into the desired position. Braces can improve both the function and appearance of the teeth, leading to a healthier and more confident smile. EXPLORE
Dentofacial Orthopedics

Impacted Canines
If your child does develop an impacted canine, a simple surgical procedure is recommended to assist the eruption of the tooth. We will surgically expose the tooth by cutting a small flap in the surrounding gum. After the tooth is exposed, we will either leave the tooth to erupt on its own, or attach an orthodontic bracket to the tooth to help guide its descent. EXPLORE
