A healthy, functional and attractive smile requires teeth that are straight and jaws that are well aligned. With orthodontic treatment you can correct the cosmetic and functional problems associated with teeth that are either overcrowded, have spaces between them, or that have shifted over time due to extractions, habits, or abnormal bite patterns. Orthodontics can also address skeletal discrepancies between the upper and lower jaws.
Orthodontic treatment ranges from the minor movement of a few teeth to the alignment of an entire bite. In certain situations, orthodontics may also be used to align the teeth before and after the surgical correction of severe jaw discrepancies.
Orthodontics utilizes the principles of physics to slowly move teeth into their proper positions. This is performed by using a selection of corrective appliances, including braces, clear aligners, and retainers. Designed to apply incremental and controlled forces to move the teeth in the desired direction, these appliances are adjusted on a regular basis throughout the course of care. Once a malocclusion is corrected and the teeth are completely aligned, retainers are often placed to help ensure that the result remains stable.
Orthodontic treatment time depends on the patients age, the severity of the malocclusion and the unique needs of each particular case. Some corrections can be accomplished in a few months while others can take a few years. However, for many malocclusions the average length of orthodontic treatment time in our office is 15 months.

The staff at this practice are both professional and genuinely caring from beginning to end. Starting with the initial phone scheduling, coordination, to the doctor, I couldn't have asked for a better visit. Many thanks to Sheri, Sheila and Dr. Biggs for your time and knowledge.

My daughter was their first patient approximately 4 years ago and we were so pleased with the practice we returned with our son. I cannot put in to words how extremely satisfied we are! A wealth of information without pressure of any kind. The consult alone was worth 10x the nominal fee charged. I feel extremely fortunate to have found Biggs-Hansen Orthodontics!

Very positive, I like the diverse staff, the warm welcome, the cleanliness. Also, I really like that the doctor did not feel so robotic & that he was not too technical in terms. I appreciate having communication honest & organic & not feel like someone is reading verbatim from a script. With all that said I am pleased our dentist recommended your office & will also thank her as well (Dr. Bazilio), she does an excellent job & we are very sensitive about our teeth so we yhanyou!

The staff are always so responsive, and from a technical perspective, we've not found another orthodontic office with the same advanced capabilities or understanding of complex situations.

Dr. Hansen and Dr. Biggs are legends! Both are incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and expeditious in aligning your teeth! I set up consultations at 3 different places, and Biggs-Hansen was the winner by miles.

Biggs Hansen Orthodontics was recommended to me by my dentist. Dr. Hansen and the staff are really doing a great job with my 62 year old set of teeth. My braces are now off and I have retainers and everything is looking great. I couldn't have asked for a smoother process and better treatment..
