    Tooth Misalignment

    Correcting misaligned teeth isn’t necessarily a cosmetic issue. Problems such as crowded teeth and overbites can result in trouble eating and obstructed airways that more serious problems later in life. To treat misaligned teeth, braces aren’t the only answer, nor are they necessarily the right choice for everyone. Alignment correction can also be done through tooth removal, tooth reshaping, jaw surgery, or jaw wiring depending on the severity of the condition.

    Jaw Misalignment

    Any time the upper and lower teeth fail to fit comfortably together, a misaligned jaw is to blame. You’ll likely have difficulty eating and may even have speech difficulties. Fortunately, these issues can often be resolved using the same type of braces used to correct misaligned teeth. However, severe cases may require surgery or more intense dental appliances to correct the condition. With routine visits, you’re unlikely to have to use the more intense methods. But if you must, our doctors are compassionate and educated and can make sure that your recovery goes as smoothly and comfortably as possible, resulting in a happier you.
