A
beautiful, healthy smile is something everyone should have.
The
orthodontist's goal is to achieve both for the patient. Untreated orthodontic
problems may contribute to conditions which cause tooth decay, diseased gums,
bone destruction, loss of teeth and jaw joint problems. In addition,
uncorrected problems can affect a child's speech, general health, and
self-esteem.
Orthodontics
is the specialty of dentistry that engages in the diagnosis, prevention and
treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontic treatment can
produce a beautiful difference in your smile. Because the process produces
permanent changes in teeth and sometimes in faces, it is very important that
treatment be done properly.
Dr.
Babyak, although trained in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, limits
his practice to orthodontic treatment only. Orthodontists have learned the
special skills required to manage tooth movement and guide facial development
by completing an advanced university training program after receiving a
dental degree.
Orthodontic
treatment can improve facial and profile aesthetics while straightening teeth
and correcting bite problems.
