Orthodontics is an area of dentistry focused on building beautiful straight smiles by bringing teeth, lips, and jaws into proper alignment. Straight teeth function better, are easier to clean, and are more likely to last your lifetime.

An attractive smile is a wonderful asset of Orthodontic treatment. A pleasing appearance is an essential component of your self-esteem and a person’s self-image will often improve after treatment. In this way, Orthodontics can benefit your social, professional and overall attitude towards life.

Misaligned teeth may also play a contributing factor to TemporoMandibular Dysfunction. TemporoMandibular Dysfunction or TMD in some cases can be connected to your bite and how your teeth fit together. Neuromuscular Orthodontics tries to provide understanding and treatment for malocclusion caused by the irregularity of teeth alignment or changes in the alignment of the jaws. Treatment aims to realign the jaw joints, facial bones, tissues and teeth. It aims to stop the progression of TMD, which in turn may enable healing and symptoms to be reduced or eliminated.

Orthodontics treatment typically consists of metal Braces. Braces are a combination of brackets and wires attached to the front of your teeth. The brackets grip the teeth and the wires are loosened or tightened to move the teeth into the desired position. The length of treatment will depend on your individual needs (i.e. how far the teeth need to be moved).

Dr. Parrag also works with other Specialists to offer a range of Orthodontic treatment options for patients of TMD.
