A great smile equals opportunity.



A great smile can be your wide open door to great opportunities. It can help you get you a first date with that “hottie” at your gym, land you your dream job, or maybe even give you a decent driver’s license photo.  On the other hand, a yellow or crooked smile can be the reason some things may not work out for you. A nice smile makes you feel good about yourself which enriches your quality of life. Orthodontic treatment is an amazing weapon against a bad smile. The objective of orthodontics is to create a straight smile with a good bite.  When most people hear the word orthodontics they instantly think of getting those pesky braces on as a teenager. Of course, there is much more to orthodontics than having chunks of metal cemented onto your teeth. Through the use of oral appliances, orthodontists are able to align crowded, irregular, and protruding teeth. The first steps in orthodontic treatment usually involve taking numerous x-rays. Once measurements are taken they are compared to average or typical measurements, to help in the diagnosis of the problem and to help with the decision of the right orthodontic treatment that should be used. They are able to diagnose any issue by identifying which areas of the face are deficient or are growing in excess. After that a plan is prepared that can be used to correct the problems. With good oral care, including orthodontic treatment when needed, teeth can last a lifetime. Apache Junction orthodontics keep your mouth in line.
