A bite that looks uneven

Crossbites, deep bites, open bites, and jaw-growth patterns can affect function and cleaning. The visit gives parents a clearer read on what matters now.

A teen ready for a straighter smile

Teen treatment planning can include braces or aligner conversations, depending on the bite, responsibility level, hygiene, and goals.
