For many people, an
orthodontist is a dental
specialist who straightens teeth. While this is certainly part of what
an
orthodontist does, there are many other benefits of orthodontic
treatment.
As an orthodontist, I
can:
- position teeth within your face to produce a beautiful smile
- create a smile that works best with your individual facial features
- help guide jaw growth, to create jaws that are compatible in their
size and
shape
- work with your family dentist to guide permanent teeth as they come
into
place within the jaws
- work with oral surgeons to fix upper and lower jaws that don't fit
together
because they are too large or too small
As an orthodontist, I am
especially interested
in how the treatment I provide can improve facial appearance. If I can
provide
a patient with straight teeth, give them a comfortable bite, while at
the same
time giving them a more balanced and well-proportioned face, then I
have
provided them with an excellent service.
I
also would like to stress that as an
orthodontist, I want to work with my patients to provide them with a
result
that we'll both be happy with. Together we can decide what is the best
treatment for each individual patient. For some people this will be
braces
alone, for others it may be braces with growth modification or jaw
surgery,
while for many patients the best treatment may be an esthetic appliance
like
Invisalign.
If you are
interested in finding out more about which orthodontic treatment is
right for
you, please contact reception and a complimentary consultation can be
arranged.
