Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics can straighten teeth and align the bite for a functional, gorgeous, healthy smile and a big boost in confidence.
Straight teeth are easier to clean, which wards off tooth decay and gum disease, improving oral health.
Orthodontic treatment allows for proper chewing and speaking, reduces uneven tooth wear and prevents bone and gum loss.
