We do a LOT of orthodontics in our practice
and we love doing it! In fact, we often find ourselves
treating our adolescent patients - only to find that
Mom and Dad, or a neighbour will set up consultations
for us to straighten their teeth as well.
So whether you're of the younger set, or one of the
rest of us -- we are fully qualified to offer you clear
or metal braces --in addition to various retainers and
appliances.
Orthodontics is essentially the use of various retainers,
brackets and wires to fix irregular bites or misaligned
teeth. While there may be a cosmetic
component for our patients wishing to pursue orthodontics,
if left untreated, orthodontic problems can lead to
painful jaw problems, headaches, gum disease or cavities
if teeth are overcrowded and are difficult to keep clean.
If it is determined that orthodontic treatment is right
for you, Dr. Walters can discuss what options are best
and how long you can expect to wear your braces. |
