Does your child have a second row of teeth coming in? Adult teeth growing behind primary teeth occurs in about 30% of children, and can be resolved easily, sometimes just with time.

If your child experiences supernumerary (extra) adult teeth, it may be a sign of hyperdontia. We can help you determine whether extraction is necessary, or if no action is needed.

Invisible orthodontia is making waves in the orthodontics industry. While Invisalign is a popular option, it isn't suitable for every individual's needs. The technology is still making its way to the mainstream, but lingual braces are becoming a strong alternative. These braces are placed on the backs of teeth, offering the inconspicuousness of Invisalign with the effectiveness of traditional braces.

Lingual braces have the same components as conventional braces, but they're fixed to the back, or lingual, side of your teeth. Learn all about this type of orthodontia, including cost, comfort level, whether you're a good candidate, and if they make you lisp.

Orthodontics FAQ: Will I need to wear a retainer after my orthodontic treatment?

In rare cases, maintenance may not be needed, but most people will need some sort of retainer after braces. You may opt for a permanent retainer or wear removable ones part-time, but wearing no retainer can allow teeth to shift some or all of the way back over time.
