Orthodontics Dentistry

Orthodontics (Braces)

Orthodontics is a special form of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial abnormalities. The treatment process will straighten teeth or correct misaligned jaw structures to improve one's bite. Most importantly, the result of orthodontic treatment is a beautiful smile and greater confidence.

If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great age to see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of 7; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens, with about one in every five orthodontic patients being over the age of 21. Whether you're considering treatment for yourself, or for a child, any time is a good time to visit the orthodontist. Maranatha's experienced orthodontist and staff will guide you through the entire treatment process.
