Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting alignment and fit irregularities of the teeth and jaw. At the W Dentistry dental practice in San Jose, we offer several options for orthodontic treatment. Our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker, will examine and evaluate your jaw and teeth alignment to determine the optimal treatment for you.
Through orthodontics, we can correct:
We can also correct problems with the alignment of the bite, including overbites, underbites, open bites and cross-bites.
Orthodontic treatment is faster, more comfortable and more effective than in years past, making now a great time to straighten your teeth and improve your smile.
While many patients think of orthodontics as an effective way to improve the aesthetics of their smiles, orthodontic treatment can also be beneficial to your oral health and function. Correctly aligned teeth are generally at a lower risk for dental problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontics can also make it easier for you to chew, eat and speak properly.
