Here at Dr. L’Tanya Joy Bailey, we specialize in helping adolescents receive orthodontic treatment. Unfortunately, teeth do not straighten out with age, so now is the time so take care of them.

Orthodontic treatment can improve your appearance, self-esteem, and even oral health problems. Crooked teeth can cause tartar buildup as well as other diseases. Orthodontic treatment can help to prevent this.

Brushing your teeth can be difficult when your teeth do not line up correctly. This can lead to more cavities as well as decay. Orthodontic treatment will result not only in straight teeth but also an overall healthier mouth.

Before treatment, our trusted and qualified staff makes sure to thoroughly examine your mouth as well as take X-rays. We will discuss various options with you so that you know exactly which treatment plan would be best for you. We want to make sure you feel comfortable with the cost as well as the time frame of treatment. If your insurance plan covers all or some of it, we are happy to work with them.

One more great feature about the orthodontic treatment we provide is that fewer follow-up appointments are required than what used to be. A beautiful, healthy smile can happen quicker than you ever thought was possible!

Getting the smile you want that will last the rest of your life can happen. Please do not hesitate to contact us today to discuss any of these options. We want to give you a reason to smile!
