Achieve a Perfectly Aligned Smile With Braces

person with braces smilingIf your teeth are crooked, crowded, or your bite is misaligned, traditional braces may be just what you need to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. Our experienced dentist, Dr Mee Kim, uses braces to gently guide teeth into their proper positions, correcting issues such as

  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Overcrowding
  • Gaps between teeth
At Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery, we focus on treating even the most complex orthodontic cases. With crossbite correction, we realign the bite so that the upper and lower teeth fit together correctly.

The Importance of Early Orthodontic Intervention

While braces are commonly associated with teenagers, we recommend that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Catching dental issues early allows for interventions to prevent more invasive procedures down the road.

Our team uses orthodontic appliances at the proper developmental stage to guide jaw growth and tooth eruption for proper alignment. This early intervention avoids future complications and the potential need for extraction of permanent teeth or corrective jaw surgery.

Creating a Better, Healthier Smile

If braces are recommended for you or your child, we’ll start by carefully affixing brackets to each tooth. A flexible wire is threaded through the brackets and adjusted periodically to apply gentle pressure and move teeth into position over time.
Treatment typically takes 18-36 months on average for children and teens. With compliance in keeping the braces clean and avoiding hard, sticky foods, this proven orthodontic solution can give you or your child a lifetime of beautiful, healthy smiles.
