There is no better way to create a beautiful smile than to use your own teeth. After approximately 12 to 24 months of orthodontics you are left with a smile that can be maintained for life. A small amount of time for a lifetime of smiles.

In many cases the reason for the teeth not being well aligned is because of a jaw discrepancy. These are the cases where early intervention at about eight years of age is required before the next growth phase of the child occurs.

Many devices are available to control or enhance the way a jaw will grow.

Cervical pull headgear (as shown) is one way to control the growth of the upper jaw.
