Orthodontics

It can often be difficult to feel confident in your smile when your crooked teeth affect the overall appearance of your smile. If you hope to achieve a straighter, more aesthetic smile, we welcome you to schedule a visit at Wylie Smiles for orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry associated with the prevention and correction of improper teeth alignment. Teeth that are crooked or misaligned are more difficult to manage over time, putting your mouth at risk for developing tooth decay, TMJ syndrome or periodontal disease. By receiving treatment early, you can prevent many extensive restorations later on.

If you struggle with any of the following, you may benefit from orthodontic treatment:

  1. Crowded or gapped teeth
  2. Open bites
  3. Underbites
  4. Overbites
  5. Crossbites

Our dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment to help patients improve not only the health and function of their smile but their appearance, as well. By correcting the alignment of your teeth, you can achieve a straighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile. There are many types of orthodontic treatments, including braces, custom appliances, retainers and several others. Our dentist will meet with you and, according to the state of your oral health and the current alignment of your teeth, help craft a plan of treatment best suited for your needs.

If you would like more information on how you can get started on orthodontic treatment, we welcome you to contact us today for an appointment with our dentist. We look forward to helping you achieve a healthy and long-lasting smile!
