Orthodontics
If you are dissatisfied with your smile due to crooked teeth or are experiencing adult-onset shifting of your teeth, crowding, or spaces, orthodontics at our Orange County office may be right for you. For kids of all ages, orthodontics is a way to enhance the smile with no tooth loss.
Orthodontics is a discipline of dentistry that focuses on aligning the teeth and jaws to improve oral health. In most cases, orthodontics utilizes braces to improve problems like crooked or crowded teeth. Orthodontics at our Orange County office can also correct:
- Protruding upper teeth
- Deep overbite
- Open bite
- Spacing
- Crossbite
- Underbite or lower jaw protrusion
If left untreated, these problems can become worse, so it is best to take care of them immediately.
 Orthodontics at our Orange County practice can do more than just improve the look of your smile - it can improve the health of your smile as well. When teeth are crooked and crowded, they can be hard to clean and maintain. This can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and eventual tooth loss. Orthodontics can also solve problems such as wearing of the tooth surfaces, poor chewing, stress on the gums and bones that support the teeth, and bite misalignment, which can lead to headaches and facial pain.
Orthodontics at our Orange County office can give your smile a much-needed straightening out. To find out if orthodontics is right for you, contact Dr. Poe today.
