Our Buffalo orthodontists believe that a beautiful, healthy smile is an asset to any patient. This is because a beautiful smile helps promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image. Orthodontic treatment brings the face, lips, and teeth into proper proportion, as well as correcting problems with the occlusion (the way the teeth come together when the jaws close).

Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, which improves overall oral hygiene and increases the chances that your beautiful smile will last a lifetime. Furthermore, studies have shown that a healthier mouth can lead to a healthier YOU!

Early orthodontic treatment has its advantages, as well. Managing dental/facial growth and development leads to a nicer-looking, more individualized orthodontic result. We are also better able to identify contributing factors to poor dental/facial growth and development. If left untreated, these can contribute to relapse after treatment. In fact, we prefer an interceptive and proactive approach to orthodontics rather than a traditional reactive one.
