Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an Orthodontist, who has typically completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.
Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well.
Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you have the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve been waiting for!

*Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that don’t fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion.

Testimonials
""I appreciate Dr. Le and her willingness to always seek alternative treatments for her patients. TMD has taken a large toll on my body (physically and mentally). Hesitant on receiving botox therapy, Dr. Le sensed my uneasiness and patiently informed me of all the details. A few weeks after receiving the treatment, I quickly saw results and can noticeably feel less tension in my jaw! Her and her staff seemed to genuinely care for my health and were extremely patient with me. Thank you all!""
""Dr. Le is so gentle and very skilled with her ability to take care of me. Thank you ." "
""I have been going here for years and have always been satisfied with the quality of care Dr. Le and her staff provides. I can truthfully say that I have not had one episode of migraine since I received botox therapy! It's amazing.""
""Growing up, I have always been expressive with laughter. But with a gummy and protrusive smile, it made it almost impossible to truly reflect my emotions. I would frequently find myself staring at the mirror trying to imagine a more beautiful, natural structure. Dr. Le, being the only dentist on the island to provide skeletal anchorage treatment, walked me through the procedure and fully explained to me what I should expect. A little over a year later, I'm here! Smiling as big as I ever could and truly loving the results. Thank you Dr. Le and staff! You all are truly outstanding. ""
