Braces or other orthodontic treatments to straighten teeth are recommended if you present an abnormal bite. If an abnormal bite is not corrected, further oral health problems could arise, including cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, abnormal wear of enamel and jaw problems.

There are different ways to straighten your teeth. We will provide different options based on the severity of your bite. Traditional braces usually consist of small brackets cemented to your teeth and connected by a wire which is periodically tightened by your dentist. The brackets may be metal or tooth colored. Removable aligners (clear aligners) are another option.
