About Orthodontics: Orthodontists are dentists who have completed an additional two-to-three year residency program to specialize in the study, prevention and correction of irregularities in tooth and jaw relationships and deformities of the face produced by these conditions. Our Specialty: Orthodontists have traditionally been concerned with the correction of improper tooth alignment and occlusion (bite) primarily by movement of the teeth. In recent years, new techniques and a better understanding of growth and development have given orthodontists the ability to not only move teeth, but to modify poor skeletal and neuromuscular growth patterns. This results in a better bite, a nicer looking smile and a more pleasing facial structure. For more information about orthodontists and orthodontics, please click on this link to the
