About Orthodontics

Do you need Orthodontics?  The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a pediatric orthodontic examination at age seven.  This is the age that permanent teeth begin to erupt.  Early detection and orthodontic care in Lakewood can prevent tooth extraction or other possible problems later.  Adults with healthy gums and bone that support the teeth can be treated at any age.

Why do I need braces?

Braces are used to treat the following:

• Overlapping teeth
• Gaps or spacing between teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Over/Underbite
• Jaw disharmony
