Orthodontics
At The Dental Co we identify the optimal treatment for each individual. Professional and state-of-the-art technology deliver a healthy, straight smile as discreetly and quickly as possible – ideal for adults seeking the smile they have always desired or parents who want to invest in getting their child’s bite and smile just right.
An orthodontic practitioner is trained in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. They undergo additional years of education beyond dental school to learn the proper way of aligning and straightening teeth to deliver both function and aesthetics.
Problems with teeth can be inherited or caused by factors such as:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Irregular position of teeth (ectopic teeth)
- Extra or missing teeth (hypodontia)
- Thumb sucking
- Dental disease such as decay or gum disease
- Premature loss of baby teeth
- Accidents or trauma
