Orthodontics

Orthodontics is an important part of dentistry not just for looks but also for health.

Narrow smiles and crooked teeth have many causes but a common reason is poor tongue posture associated with mouth breathing. This can result in small airways, snoring, jaw problems and even headaches.

Our philosophy is to identify the cause opening the airway developing the jaws back to their normal size which eliminates the need for most extractions.

Early treatment at around 7 years is the ideal time to correct malocclusion as this is the best time to correct poor habits.

Both children and adults can benefit from an improved smile and healthy face.
