Orthodontics is a type of dentistry that specializes in the positioning of ones teeth or jaw. The benefits of orthodontics go beyond a good-looking smile. In addition to cosmetic procedures, orthodontists are able to treat a variety of medical issues like TMJ, teeth grinding, and tooth decay. Orthodontists can treat kids, teens, and adults to establish lifelong oral hygiene and health.
Hough Orthodontics has specialized in orthodontic care in the St. Louis area since 1986. Contact us today to help relieve TMJ/TMD, relieve jaw pain and headaches, or simply develop a straighter smile!
An orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, but the best time to start oral treatment is when your child is young! Beginning treatment early gives your child their best smile more quickly, easily, and affordably
Traditional Braces are everything but traditional at Hough Orthodontics. Dr. Hough uses a variety of bracket systems, choosing the ideal system and wires for each individual patient based on their individual needs. The high-tech wire system Dr. Hough uses allows patients to enjoy a cleaner, more aesthetic appearance with far fewer visits, less discomfort and faster treatment time than with old fashioned and out of date wire systems. Lighter, gentler forces on the teeth actually have a faster result While every patients needs are different these new state-of-the-art wires allow Dr. Hough to individualize every patients treatment to create the best smile for each person.
At Hough Orthodontics, we offer the latest advancements in orthodontic treatment, including clear aligners like Invisalign. From teens to working adults, clear aligner systems are a great fit for people of all ages because they are virtually invisible. Clear aligners allow everyone to discreetly straighten their smile!
One of the most important aspects to consider when moving your teeth is your jaw. If you move your teeth without considering the position of your jaw, years of potential issues can arise including headaches, jaw popping, jaw locking, and ear pain. This is why you should always go through a specially-trainer orthodontist when considering clear aligners of any kind.

We love Hough Orthodontics. The staff is wonderful and is always friendly and helpful. Dr Hough is great with the kids and always answers all of our questions with great detail. We never feel rushed. Scheduling appointments is always easy and emergency visits are never a problem. The virtual appointment during quarantine was also efficient, informative, and user friendly.
