All About Braces

You're Braced For the Best

Not everyone needs braces, but if Dr. Terry or Dr. John recommends orthodontics for the sake of your teeth or jaw, it’s with good reason. Without treatment, you could suffer from tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss….abnormal wear of tooth surfaces or inefficient chewing function…excessive stress on gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth, or misalignment of the jaw joints. All of these problems can lead to one big headache (literally) or neck pain and costly additional dental care.

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and helps to prevent and overcome future problems, both cosmetic and medical. Learn more about your treatment and orthodontics care by clicking on the links below.
