Orthodontics is more than just straightening teeth. Besides providing lifelong occlusal corrections, it also has the ability to transform personalities, and give kids the confidence to succeed in life. While challenging at times, the orthodontic experience should be a fun time during adolescence, where the patients can be part of learning the how, when, and why we do what we do. In one word, I think orthodontics is AWESOME! Dr. Messingham
