• Jaw Surgery
  Jaw surgery is sometimes required for adults due to the lack of jaw growth as an aid in orthodontic treatment. Some adults may have experienced bone loss or gum tissue loss over the years; this may limit the amount and direction of tooth movement possible in adult cases.
• Tooth Extractions
  Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child by the age of 7 have an initial orthodontic evaluation. Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. At this age, the first permanent molars and incisors have usually erupted. Crossbites, crowding, and other problems can be evaluated. When treatment is begun early (Phase I), the orthodontist can guide the growth of the jaw and guide incoming permanent teeth. Early treatment can also regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches, gain space for permanent teeth, avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions, reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth, correct thumb-sucking, and eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems. In other words, early treatment can simplify later treatment. Because all of the permanent teeth have not yet erupted when early treatment is performed, their final alignment may not have been corrected. Typically, a shortened comprehensive phase of treatment (Phase II – full braces) in the teen years, after all the permanent teeth have erupted, completes the correction. However, in some circumstances, further orthodontic treatment may not be indicated.

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Clear appliances (such as Invisalign®) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

We are more than happy to recommend our friends and family to Dr. Kim and his excellent staff. Thank you for providing such excellent and caring service.
