Orthodontics

Straight, aligned teeth are vital for a beautiful, healthy smile. Orthodontics, like braces and aligners, can help shift teeth into the desired position for an aligned bite and a pleasing smile. At Smile Design Studios, we offer orthodontic options for adults and teens. We make it simple for patients to get all their dental needs taken care of at one place.

When teeth are crooked, gapped or misaligned, it is more than just an aesthetic issue. While straight teeth are attractive, orthodontics also improve oral health. Misaligned teeth can overlap or have gaps that make it difficult to eliminate plaque and tartar. This can lead to a higher risk of gum disease, bad breath and other health issues. Bite misalignment can also put stress on the jaw joint, which can cause TMJ. Straightening teeth and bite alignment with orthodontics can improve both the health and the appearance of teeth for a gorgeous smile.

While braces for teeth straightening have been used for centuries (modern orthodontics began in the 18th century), clear aligners have become extremely popular in the last few decades. These clear plastic aligners fit over the teeth and are removable, making them more discreet and comfortable than metal braces with wires. At Smile Design Studios, we offer orthodontics to fit our patients’ lifestyles, including:
