Not everyone is born with perfectly arranged teeth.  There are many options to move existing teeth into a more optimal position through orthodontics (braces).  Often for children who exhibit some crowding early intervention can minimize the time spent in braces down the road.  Removable and fixed appliances can help guide erupting teeth into the correct position and improve function and aesthetics down the road.  And orthodontics is not just for kids!  There are many options for straightening adult teeth as well.  At Laurentian Dental Centre we handle some orthodontic treatment right here in the office.  For more complicated cases, we may refer you to an orthodontic specialist for treatment.
