Orthodontic Treatment

Misaligned teeth and bite problems can make it harder to chew and speak comfortably. For children and teens, crooked teeth can also affect self-esteem during some of the most socially sensitive years of their lives.

At Parker Family Dentistry, we offer orthodontic treatment for both children and adults, with personalized care at every stage.

Conditions Orthodontic Treatment Can Address

Whether it's traditional braces or clear aligners for adults, orthodontic treatment can correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues, including:

• Tooth crowding
• Spacing issues
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite

It’s never too late to straighten your teeth. Many adults choose orthodontic treatment to correct relapse from earlier treatment, address ongoing alignment issues, improve their bite, or simply feel more confident in their smile.

Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into the correct position. They are proven effective for complex alignment and bite issues and are the most reliable orthodontic option available.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. They are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear aligners are discreet, and we commonly recommend them for mild to moderate alignment issues.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age seven. This does not mean your child will need braces. It simply allows our dentists to monitor development, identify concerns early, and plan the right approach at the right time.
