A REASON TO SMILE

If you're considering orthodontic treatment, you are taking the first step toward better health and a smile that will last a lifetime. Dr. Kosek spends a great deal of time analyzing each patient's orthodontic needs. He then applies the most effective, efficient treatment to achieve the desired results.

Some Reasons for Orthodontics

  • Crowded teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Extra teeth
  • Overbite
  • Teeth that protrude
  • Difficulty in chewing
  • Thumb or finger sucking
  • Recessed or protruding jaw

Benefits of Early Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that ALL children have a dental screening no later than age seven. Early orthodontic screening can lead to easier, more effective treatment for dental patients. Early treatment often presents the opportunity to:

  • Influence jaw growth in a positive manner
  • Harmonize width of the dental arches
  • Improve eruption patterns
  • Lower risk of trauma to protruded upper incisors
  • Correct harmful oral habits
  • Improve aesthetics and self-esteem
  • Simplify and/or shorten treatment time for later corrective orthodontics
  • Reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth
  • Improve some speech problems
  • Preserve or gain space for erupting permanent teeth
