Orthodontic treatment involves using braces or clear aligners to move teeth into proper alignment. This not only improves the appearance of your smile but also makes it easier to bite, chew, and speak properly.
Common Orthodontic Conditions Treated:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Gaps between teeth
- Jaw misalignment
When teeth are overcrowded or overlapping, it can be difficult to remove plaque effectively, increasing the risk of tooth decay. An underbite may cause speech impediments, while an overbite can contribute to chronic jaw pain. At Drs. Davila & Velazquez, P.A., we can often correct these concerns by straightening the teeth, leading to a healthier and more confident smile.

Retainers
Retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment to maintain your results.
