For both children and adults, crowding and jaw growth problems produce teeth that are more prone to dental problems and a smile that is less attractive than they desire. And they are not alone - about 70% of people in the United States could benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Crowded, crooked, protruding, overlapped teeth and misaligned bites can cause more than just an unattractive smile. Teeth with such problems tend to be harder to clean and to have more cavities, gum disease and uneven wear. Fortunately, orthodontic treatment can work for anyone, at any age.

Some children need intervention before all of their primary teeth (baby teeth) have been lost. Others can wait until all of their permanent teeth have come in. However, today many adults seek the benefits of orthodontic treatment.
