Problems Caused by Misalignment: Why You Need Orthodontic Care
Malocclusion is both a cosmetic problem and a dental wellness issue. It can negatively affect your diet, your looks, and even the way you feel about yourself. If you have been suffering with crooked teeth, our dentists can coordinate with orthodontists to help you.
Compromised Appearance
Crooked teeth, jaw misalignment, and spacing issues can all detract from an otherwise beautiful smile. For people whose careers involve a lot of public interaction, it is especially important to have a confident smile.
Dental Health Problems
When your teeth are not properly aligned, it can make eating certain foods difficult, and can eventually lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Crooked teeth are also more difficult to brush and floss, which can lead to cavities.
Low Self-Esteem
If you don't feel happy about your smile, it can affect your confidence and self-image. Crooked teeth can lead to severe self-consciousness while smiling, speaking, and laughing, even around family members and close friends.
How Orthodontics Can Help: Issues We Can Treat and Prevent
Orthodontic treatment can address many problems affecting the teeth, gums, palate, and jaw. If you suffer from any of these issues, consider speaking with our dentists about treatment:
We work with orthodontists to correct many kinds of tooth misalignment issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, open bites, and large gaps between your teeth.
Crowding of the teeth can cause soreness and pain. The discomfort may occur when biting and chewing, or it may be persistent due to a prolonged issue with the distribution of pressure throughout your bite.
Poor dental alignment can make it difficult to thoroughly clean all of the surfaces of your teeth. This increases the risk of cavities, tooth fractures, and root canal infections, which can require costly treatment.
Difficulties cleaning your teeth properly can also increase the risk of periodontal health issues. Gum disease can lead to a variety of serious oral health concerns, including the loss of one or more teeth.
Malocclusion makes it difficult for your teeth and jaw to find a comfortable resting position, which causes clenching and grinding while you sleep. This can have a variety of effects including worn teeth and jaw pain.
Bruxism combined with poor dental alignment puts strain on the jaw joint, which can increase the risk of developing TMJ disorder. Symptoms can include headaches, difficulty chewing, and muscle spasms.

I have never met such a kind and caring group of people. Everyone and I mean everyone from Dr. Sutton down to the last employee rank the highest rating I could give. I have been going there for about 6 years now and have never been disappointed or dissatisfied.

We offer two primary orthodontic treatments to help improve the alignment of your smile: traditional braces and ClearCorrect invisible orthodontics.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces apply controlled tension using brackets, wires, and bands. Over time, this tension improves dental alignment, making your smile healthier and more attractive. We coordinate with the area's best orthodontists to help patients achieve outstanding results.
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect is a modern alternative to braces. Rather than brackets and wires, patients wear clear plastic aligner trays. These aligners are practically invisible, and are custom-crafted to gradually improve tooth alignment. Because they are removable, you can eat any foods you choose, and you can brush and floss as usual throughout treatment.
Orthodontics for All Ages
Although orthodontic treatment is often associated with young patients, the truth is that it's never too late to achieve a straighter and healthier smile. Our dentists work with the area's best orthodontists in order to help any patient suffering with malocclusion to experience the benefits of a properly aligned bite:
Adult Orthodontics
Adults who have suffered from malocclusion their entire lives may be candidates for braces or ClearCorrect. While adults often prefer the discreet and simplified nature of the ClearCorrect system, our team can accommodate more complex cases with traditional orthodontics and the help of an area orthodontist.
Orthodontics for Adolescents
Treating dental misalignment in young adulthood can set the stage for a lifetime of excellent oral health and confident smiles. We can tailor a custom treatment plan using either ClearCorrect or traditional braces to benefit your child.
