Othodontics are used to correct an improper bite, in both children and adults.

This condition is called malocclusion, which involves crowded or crooked teeth or even an unaligned upper and lower jaw. Tooth movement is accomplished by light pressure exerted on the teeth by either removable or non-removable dental appliances.  The most common non-removable appliances are braces. 

Orthodontic treatment is important to achieve a healthier mouth and the result is a beautiful smile. Crooked or crowded teeth make it hard to clean the mouth efficiently. This can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and possibly tooth loss. An improper bite can interfere with chewing and speaking, and cause abnormal wear of the enamel and lead to problems with the jaw.
