	OUR SERVICES

	Why Orthodontics? Orthodontic treatment is good for your health and generally improves the looks of your smile if you do not already have straight teeth. When jaw discrepancies such as overbites and underbites are corrected, you’ll find it more comfortable to chew, talk and even breathe! When the bones and tissue that support your teeth experience less stress, the risk of gum and bone deterioration (the leading cause of adult tooth loss) is minimized. Orthodontic treatment can resolve cosmetic, functional, and physiological issues such as: Dental crowding Spacing or missing teeth Retruded or protruded teeth or jaws Deep overbites Open bites Difficulty chewing/swallowing Speech problems Headaches, facial or neck pain Jaw popping, locking or clicking Excessive wear of teeth Dr. Suzuki’s Philosophy of Care Everything we do centers around making both your teeth and face look better because of our treatment. Traditional orthodontics often required the removal of up to eight teeth to allow for the necessary space to remedy a crowded mouth. Using the newest orthodontic technologies, the extraction of teeth occurs far less often than it used to. As a result, our patients enjoy a beautiful final result along with the facial support that comes with maintaining all of your teeth for your lifetime. We do still extract teeth when it is apparent that either the face of the patient, or the overall dental condition, will benefit from such care. However, this decision is made only after exhaustively reviewing the patient diagnostic records as well as all non-extraction treatment choices. We want our patients to be happy with their final result now, as well as many years into the future. We are also committed to providing the care to our patients in as efficient a manner as possible. This means that we try to do as much work as we comfortably can at each visit as well as scheduling as much time as is practical between visits. Our goal is to finish your care as well as possible with as little disruption of your daily lifestyle as possible. The incorporation of the new wire and bracket technology in our office assists us in achieving this goal.
