Vancouver Orthodontics
Orthodontics is one of the specialized fields of dentistry. It is concerned with the growth and development of the dentition and the treatment of dental irregularities which can occur.
To produce a nice smile it takes a team effort. That is why your family dentist and Vancouver orthodontist work as a team on your behalf in the treatment of dental abnormalities, bad bites (malocclusion) and crooked teeth are usually corrected by an orthodontist. Abnormalities of the jaw are usually corrected by an oral surgeon. When both conditions exist, it is common to find an orthodontist and oral surgeon working together. This teamwork approach to complex dental/facial problems is providing better oral health for thousands of adults and children. These thousands are rewarded with straight teeth, bright smiles and facial symmetry — a beauty of shape, form and position.
