Teeth that are crooked, crowded or that stick out (protruding teeth) can:

• affect the way you look
• affect your bite(the way your teeth fit together)
• be more difficult to clean

If you are not happy with the way your teeth look or work Dr. Henn would be happy to assist you in getting the smile you deserve.

Orthodontic treatment straightens your teeth so they look and work better. It even creates a nicer smile while helping your jaw muscles function better.

Orthodontic treatment uses braces or other appliances to put gentle pressure on your teeth. Gentle pressure over a number of months can move your teeth into the right position.

Things to consider before choosing orthodontics:

• orthodontic treatment takes time. How much time depends on your age and the type of problem. Treatment generally involves a visit every 4-6 weeks over a 12-24 month period of time depending on your case.
• you may feel some discomfort for a while when your invisalign are delivered.
• some dental benefit plans have coverage for orthodontic treatment. Check with your insurance company to get your benefit information. Often, 50% of treatment up to a maximum will be covered. Some do have age restrictions so be aware of those also.

Orthodontic treatment is an enormous investment, both, in time and money. Dr. Henn can provide you with the information that is needed to make the decision that is right for you and your loved ones.
