Orthodontics

Are you happy with your smile? Orthodontic problems can interfere with the way your smile looks and feels. You may not want to smile often, and you may have difficulty biting or eating easily. Over time, it can lead to TMJ disorders and abnormal wear patterns. If your teeth are hard to clean as a result of your orthodontic problems, they may be more prone to decay and gum disease. Our Los Angeles orthodontics expert can help.

Our Los Angeles orthodontist may recommend orthodontic treatment if you have:

• An overbite, which means that the upper teeth extend beyond the lower teeth
• An underbite, which means that the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth
• A crossbite, which means that one jaw is closer to the tongue or cheek than the opposite jaw
• Crowding, which means that the teeth are too close together
• Crooked teeth
• Gapped teeth, which means that there is too much space between the teeth

Today, many options are available to correct bite problems. You may be able to choose from Invisalign, conventional braces, porcelain braces or other orthodontic treatments. Our expert in orthodontics in Los Angeles will recommend a specific treatment at your consultation after examining your smile and your bite issues. We may be able to offer you several options from which you can choose based on your own preferences and goals.
