Why You Should Schedule an Orthodontics Appointment With Him

1. To Straighten Your Teeth

Braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments. With this method, brackets are adhered to each tooth and held together with a wire. This wire is consistently tightened until it aligns your bite.

2. To Fix Your Jaw

Are you dealing with pain and crooked teeth from an awkward bite? Orthodontics can take care of overbites, underbites, and crossbites, making it easier for you to chew, speak, and smile.

3. To Address Crowding

Some people have too many teeth—a dental issue referred to as crowding. Not only is this cause for cosmetic concern, but it can also lead to poor oral health and chronic pain. After removing some teeth, an orthodontics expert can create a custom retainer to hold the remaining teeth in place.

Whether you want to address an overbite or work toward a straighter smile, Dr. Luff is here for all your orthodontic needs. To schedule an appointment with him, call (907) 486-3257.
