Orthodontics

For most patients, straight teeth mean a terrific smile. But did you know that properly aligned teeth are healthier? Overlapped, crooked, or rotated teeth create a daily cleaning challenge. Food and bacterial plaque accumulate slowly in the tiny spaces your toothbrush and floss can't reach. The acidic toxins that seep out of the bacterial sludge can lead to cavities and inflamed, diseased gums. Helping even a couple of straggling teeth find their proper place can leave you with a healthier mouth.

Straightening teeth isn't just for kids! Adults often make the most dedicated orthodontic patients, and there is always time to discuss the options for a bright, straight smile. If you need to find out if wires fit your tolerance level, don't worry. Invisible methods can work exceptionally well in many cases, and Dr. Nakhla can help you explore the possibilities.

Orthodontics involves teeth straightening and jaw alignment, combining beauty and function. Identifying problems early in development may allow more accessible treatment with better results, but there is always time to discuss ways to enhance a smile!
