Personalized Orthodontic Care for Every Stage of Life
Orthodontic treatment is not limited to one age group or one type of appliance. Our orthodontist evaluate each patient’s tooth alignment, bite, jaw relationships, dental development and treatment goals before recommending care.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include braces, clear aligners, early orthodontic treatment, palatal expansion, retention or another individualized approach.
For children, an early evaluation can help our orthodontist monitor growth and determine whether treatment is needed now or later. Teen and adult patients may have several treatment options depending on the movements required, bite complexity and personal preferences.
More Than Straightening Teeth
Our approach considers more than the appearance of the smile. When clinically relevant, our orthodontist may also evaluate bite function, jaw development, tongue posture, oral habits and breathing patterns as part of a comprehensive orthodontic examination.
Services such as airway orthodontics and orofacial myofunctional therapy may be incorporated into care when these factors are relevant to the patient’s orthodontic needs.
For more complex cases, Dr. Smith may also collaborate with dentists, oral surgeons, ENTs, periodontists, myofunctional therapists and other healthcare providers when appropriate.
Advanced Technology for Orthodontic Treatment
Our practice uses modern orthodontic technology to support diagnosis, treatment planning and ongoing care. Depending on the patient’s needs, this may include digital scanning, in-office 3D printing and CBCT imaging.
These digital tools help our orthodontist gather detailed information about the teeth and jaws and create treatment plans tailored to each patient’s individual anatomy and goals.
