What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. At Scott Family Orthodontics, we offer a variety of treatment options to correct issues such as misaligned, crowded, and gapped teeth, as well as bite problems including overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites.

No matter what your orthodontic concerns may be, our team is here to help you improve both the appearance and function of your smile.

Orthodontic Problems We Treat

Orthodontic treatment can help correct a wide range of common issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps or spacing between teeth
  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Open bites
  • Jaw alignment concerns

Correcting these issues can improve your smile, make oral hygiene easier, and help support better long-term dental health.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

We offer a full range of orthodontic services to meet the needs of children, teens, and adults. Your treatment plan will depend on your smile, bite, goals, and lifestyle.

Modern orthodontic care is more advanced, comfortable, and efficient than ever before. With today’s orthodontic technology, treatment can often be completed with greater precision and a smoother patient experience.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment does more than improve how your smile looks. Properly aligned teeth and a healthy bite can also support better everyday function and long-term oral health.

  • Improved Smile Appearance: Straight teeth can create a more balanced, confident smile.
  • Better Oral Health: Teeth that are easier to clean are often less prone to plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum problems.
  • Improved Function: Correcting bite problems can improve chewing, speaking, and overall comfort.
  • Long-Term Stability: Addressing alignment issues can help support healthier function over time.

Orthodontics for Teens

Teen treatment often focuses on correcting crowding, spacing, and bite problems while the smile is still developing. Both braces and clear aligners may be options, depending on the case.

Orthodontics FAQs

What age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic screening by age 7. This helps identify any developing issues early, even if treatment is not needed yet.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

No. Orthodontic treatment can be a great option for children, teens, and adults. The best treatment depends on your smile and goals, not just your age.

What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?

Braces use brackets and wires to move teeth, while Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners. Both can be effective, and we will help you choose the best option for your needs.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment recommended. Many patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months, but your timeline may be different.

Will orthodontic treatment improve oral health?

Yes. Straighter teeth are often easier to clean, and correcting bite issues can improve function and support better long-term oral health.
