Dentofacial Orthopedics & Orthodontics

We provide orthodontic, or dentofacial orthopedic, services including traditional braces, clear aligners, and a variety of removable and fixed appliances.

It is our philosophy that crooked teeth and malocclusions are a symptom and that the underlying cause is improper skeletal or jawbone growth. Our approach to orthodontics aims to address these developmental issues as well as the environmental factors that contribute to their occurrence such as diet, pacifier or finger sucking, restricted oral tissues, dysfunctional muscle use in the mouth and face, mouth breathing habits, and posture of the tongue, lips, cheeks, jaw and head.

Using orthodontic tools to correct the structure is only one piece of the puzzle- the function, habits, behaviors, and lifestyle factors must also be addressed to ensure a stable and long-lasting result. When done right, we believe that comprehensive orthodontic treatment not only improves one’s facial beauty, but their overall health and wellness.
