You’ll receive a thorough examination from our dentist in Sacramento and a complete treatment plan that can be tailored to your goals and daily schedule.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the specialty that deals with moving and realigning teeth to improve their appearance and how they come together when you chew. People most choose orthodontic treatment because they are concerned about the space between their teeth (crowding) or how their teeth fit together (malocclusion). When all of your teeth are properly aligned, they will function better and help maintain good overall oral health.
Which Treatment Helps Most?
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| Crowded or crooked teeth | Traditional braces |
| Spaces between teeth | Clear aligners |
| Uneven bite | Bite correction orthodontic treatment |
| Children with early spacing or crowding | Early orthodontic evaluation |
| Teeth shifted after previous orthodontic care | Retainer-based alignment care |
