When a person's teeth or jaws do not fit together properly, orthodontic treatment may be necessary to correct the problem. If left untreated, these orthodontic problems, often referred to as malocclusion, can cause speech difficulty, premature wear of the teeth and protective enamel, and even increase the chance of injury to the teeth and jaw joints.

National Orthodontic Health Month - Q & A Q. DOES WEARING BRACES HURT? A. Generally, braces do not "hurt." After certain appointments, your teeth may be sore for a few days. In these situations, over-the-counter pain medications, such as Advil or Tylenol, will ease the discomfort. However, after most visits, patients do not feel any soreness at all! We often remind our patients, It does not have to hurt to work!

Happy Weekend!!

A squirrel's four front incisors increase about 6 inches a year If they didn't keep growing, you'd see plenty of squirrels with worn-to-nothing front teeth. Unlike squirrels, our permanent teeth stop growing by the time we reach adulthood. That could be a problem since nearly all of us encounter tooth wear as we age. Bad habits like crunching ice, biting into hard foods or using our teeth as tools can contribute to accelerated wear. Some people also involuntarily clench or g...rind their teeth, creating higher than normal pressure that can wear down teeth. It's worth the effort to quit conscious bad dental practices to prevent your teeth from wearing faster than normal.

How is adult orthodontic treatment different from treatment for children/teens? "The biggest difference in orthodontics for adults vs. children/teens is that adults are no longer growing. Adult treatment may take slightly longer than treatment for children/teens with a similar problem due to the maturity and density of the bone adults have. Some medications, and habits like smoking, clenching or grinding teeth, or tongue thrust, can affect the outcome of treatment. " https://www.aaoinfo.org//parent-s-guide-post/how-is-adult/

We can provide a completely private treatment area upon request. We have installed high-efficiency air purifier filters throughout the office.
