Orthodontists use fixed and removable dental devices, like braces, retainers, and bands, to change the position of teeth in your mouth. Orthodontic treatment is for dental abnormalities, including:

• Zoom ligt activated system
• Beyond ligt activated system
• Opalescence boost chemically activated system
• Home bleaching chemically activated system
• Laser treat whitening

The goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve your bite. Teeth that are straight and evenly spaced will align with opposing teeth in your jaw. A healthy bite ensures you can eat, chew, and speak properly. While you might think of orthodontists as mainly for children or teenagers who need braces, they can correct dental problems at any age.

You may need to see an orthodontist if you have:

• Crowding or not enough room for all of your teeth
• Overbite, when your upper teeth come over your bottom teeth
• Underbite, when your bottom teeth are too far forward
• Spacing or issues with gaps
• Crossbite, which is when your upper teeth fit behind your bottom teeth when your mouth is closed
• Open bite or a vertical gap between your front bottom and upper teeth
• Misplaced midline, when the center of your bottom and upper teeth don't line up
