Why visit an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a specialist in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. They have advanced training in orthodontics and spend 100% of their time helping patients achieve healthier smiles and better self-esteem by identifying, preventing and treating bad bites (malocclusions).

Lingual braces can help with a variety of dental issues, so there’s a strong chance you would be a candidate for hidden braces. A lingual orthodontic treatment means that braces are fitted behind the teeth (by the tongue and palate) which makes it discreet for patients who don't want braces to show.
