Orthodontic braces are devices used to align and straighten your teeth and help to position your bite (occlusion), while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct malocclusion, overbites, under bites, cross bites, open bites, deep bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be traditional (metal) or clear (porcelain).
Dr. Detar has had extensive training with both Straight Wire and Tip-Edge Orthodontics and is an instructor for the International Association of Orthodontics.
