Your Smile
Your smile is one of the first things people notice. This can seriously affect the first impressions you give off for the rest of your life. Talk, laugh and smile with the confidence you deserve. Fixing the alignment of your teeth can reduce their overall wear pattern, which translates into longer lasting teeth and oral health.
Arizona Orthodontist utilizes today's latest orthodontic advances in order to provide you with the most comfortable and efficient treatment possible. Our office has provided exceptional results to some of the most discriminating smiles, and they can do the same for you.
There are a few orthodontic conditions that do require early intervention. These are mostly related to jaw or bite problems, or self-esteem issues. Crossbites that cause the lower jaw to shift, and severe overbites or underbites should be treated early.Early loss of primary (baby) teeth, or excessive crowding which can cause damage to gum tissue, are examples of spacing problems that may warrant early treatment.
Given our conservative approach, most children do not require early treatment. For these patients, there are many advantages to waiting until most of the permanent teeth have erupted (usually between ages 11 and 14). At this stage in a child's development, bone growth occurs more rapidly, increasing treatment effectiveness and yielding more stable results. Waiting means less time in braces, fewer office visits, and fewer complications.
