Orthodontists

Orthodontists use many different types of appliances, or braces and other devices, to move or stabilize teeth and jaws. Sometimes orthodontic treatment involves more than just moving the teeth. Orthodontists do more than align teeth; they modify and correct problems with facial growth. Different orthodontic appliances are used for different purposes in an orthodontic treatment. Some are designed to primarily move teeth (orthodontic), while others are used orthopedically to modify facial growth. In some cases, the orthodontis may recommend jaw surgery to improve jaw and teeth alignment that would otherwise be impossible with orthodontics alone. Orthodontists select the type of appliance and treatment that suits each patient's needs. Shop online and find a qualified orthodontist in your area.
