Dental Services:Braces
Detailed Description
Carus Dental recognizes that many patients are interested in having straighter teeth. Achievement of this goal leads to not only a nicer smile, but also to an easier time cleaning your teeth and to a better functioning bite. This goal can often be achieved by braces (or orthodontics).
All of our dentists perform a screening exam to see if you would benefit from braces. Typically, if it is determined that you would be a good candidate for braces, our general dentists will refer you to one of our team of Orthodontic specialists. Carus Orthodontic Group offices are conveniently found close to many of our general dentistry locations.
