When patients near Brentwood think of orthodontic treatment, traditional metal bracket and wire braces are often the first thought. Many also believe that orthodontics are only for older children or teenagers. Today, patients of all ages are having orthodontic treatment done to address appearance, problems with the bite, or alignment of the dental arch. Overbites, under bites, cross bites, crowding, and gaps between the teeth are common reasons patients seek orthodontic services.
