Being advanced in the field, Dr. Brown may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients? smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Brown must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.

My daughter’s middle tooth seems to be out of line from the remaining teeth. Can this be corrected with braces?
Braces certainly could be indicated. The best time for crowding treatment is before all baby teeth are lost.
