Orthodontics (Braces)
Sometime after the invention of
the mirror, but no later than 1,000 B.C., ancient Greeks began using base
metals and cat gut in a determined effort to take the smile provided by nature
and make it better.
Today, gifted orthodontic specialists shape dazzling smiles while creating
optimal form and function.
Orthodontics has come a long way in just a few thousand years.
Children, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged men and women, seniors – all are
taking advantage of the simplicity that distinguishes today’s orthodontics.
There are orthodontic solutions for every lifestyle and budget. Fees for
orthodontic care vary with the complexity of the treatment and may vary
according to geographic region. Call our office to ask our orthodontist about
anticipated treatment fees, payment options and insurance benefits.
Orthodontics is devoted to building beautiful smiles by bringing teeth, lips,
and jaws into proper alignment. Straight teeth function better, are easier to
clean, and are more likely to last your lifetime.
Your orthodontist can improve most tooth and jaw alignment problems at any
age. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see
an orthodontist no later than age seven.
