Orthodontics In Brookline

Orthodontic treatment can improve your smile & help you maintain your teeth in good health by straightening rotated, crowded or overlapped teeth or closing gaps. It can also correct bite problems & align your jaws so that they work together properly. Teeth that are crooked or misaligned are difficult to clean, and can cause unchecked tooth decay & gum disease. They can also make it difficult to chew & speak correctly. They can also be a source of headaches & jaw pain, known as TMD. A crooked or misaligned bite can lead to jaw clenching or grinding, or it may cause TMD symptoms in the form of pain, stiffness or a clicking sensation in the jaw. A properly aligned bite can prevent these problems & help keep your teeth & mouth healthy for years to come.
