Orthodontic treatment can help people of all ages.

It's fairly easy to re-position teeth if they are healthy and you do not have serious problems with your gums.

Here are just a few of the many benefits of orthodontic treatment:

• Permanent teeth can be gradually guided into proper alignment and position.
•  
• Creating more space for permanent teeth.
•  
• Minimizing or eliminating the potential for damage to jaw joints.
•  
• Helping to ensure better facial balance, including proper lip closure, dental arch widths, and jaw growth.
•  
• Minimizing the likelihood of cracked or chipped teeth (from bad bites).
•  
• Correcting eating and speech difficulties.
