  Why is orthodontic treatment so common in today's society?
  
  The mouth and its surroundings comprise one of the most functionally complex and important parts of the human body. It might be described as the "crossroads," involved as it is in breathing, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and perhaps most importantly, emotional facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, etc. In the past, early loss of teeth because of decay and periodontal problems often compromised these valuable body functions but was considered a normal part of the aging process. Over the years, it has become recognized that straight teeth and a balanced bite can contribute, along with other advances in dental health care, to maintenance of the natural teeth for an entire lifetime. As a result, orthodontics has become an accepted preventive measure that offers substantial, lasting health benefits.
  
  And then there is the known significant social advantage of having straight teeth and a balanced facial appearance. Studies have proven that both males and females with these assets are judged by their peers to be friendlier, more admired and more likely to be successful. As a result, many modern families place a high priority on orthodontic correction not only for its physical health benefits, but in order to take advantage of the opportunity to go through life with big, beautiful, bright smiles!
  
  Our team provides excellence in orthodontic health care based on the highest professional and ethical standards in an atmosphere of comfort and caring. Our goal is to create healthy, beautiful smiles that will last a lifetime. We accomplish this by tailoring treatment recommendations to each individual's personal needs and by combining the latest high-tech innovations with time-tested patient care procedures.
  
  Our modern orthodontic office is specially designed to provide patients, and the family members who accompany them to their appointments, with a safe, pleasant, comfortable and yet professional atmosphere. We are in compliance with all contemporary health care facility requirements (WISHA and OSHA) for sterilization and infection control. Our records procedures provide security in conformity with the federal HIPAA statutes.
  
  We strive to make your Orthodontic experience one of comfort and satisfaction. Call for an appointment today!
