TOOTH STRAIGHTENING – IS IT NECESSARY?
Orthodontics is the Dental Specialty concerned with the prevention and correction of facial irregularities and malocclusion, or teeth that fit together improperly. Crooked teeth, usually associated with malocclusion, not only affect cosmetics, but also increase ones susceptibility to tooth decay and gum disease. Improperly aligned teeth can affect speech, impair chewing efficiency and nutrition, and may be the cause of jaw joint problems. Your dentist will refer you to an orthodontist for an examination when necessary. After your case is evaluated you will be scheduled for a consultation regarding the proposed plan, length of treatment, and the cost involved in your laser dental treatment.
