It's National Orthodontic Health Month!
In orthodontics, teeth are straightened or moved to improve their appearance, functionality, and ease of cleaning and flossing. If crooked teeth, protruding teeth, or an incorrect bite, are ignored, these conditions may result in additional oral health issues like tooth loss, decay, gum disease, and even jaw issues.

Celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month by embracing a beautiful, healthy, straight smile...

Spacers are just the first step on the road to straighter, more evenly aligned teeth. You won’t have them for very long, since they’re designed to prepare your back teeth for braces.
