Braces and Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment corrects crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth and bite problems using braces or clear aligners. Union Family Dental offers traditional braces and clear aligner options for children, teens, and adults.
The essentials
What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics gradually moves teeth and guides the bite into healthier alignment with braces or removable clear aligners.
Treatment can address crowding, spacing, rotations, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Better alignment may also make teeth easier to clean and distribute biting forces more evenly.
