Orthodontics

An orthodontic problem is called a malocclusion, meaning "bad bite."
Some examples of causes of malocclusion are crowded teeth, extra teeth, missing teeth or jaws that are out of alignment.
Most malocclusions are inherited, although some can be acquired.
Acquired malocclusions can be caused by accidents, early or late loss of baby teeth, or sucking of the thumb or fingers for a prolonged period of time.

At Southview Dental we provide orthodontic treatment using the Invisalign system This allows us to correct many orthodontic problems using a series of clear, removable custom aligners to gradually move teeth without brackets or wires..

If we think you should see a specialist for treatment, we will refer you to an orthodontist.
