What Does an Orthodontist Do?

An orthodontist is a dental professional that begins with the same training as your family dentist. However, orthodontists like Dr. Nardone and Dr. MacNeil have specialized with further education and training to treat issues with the bite, teeth, and jaws.

The primary focus of an orthodontist is to correct issues with the way your teeth bite and jaws align. The way that your teeth come together is important. If they are misaligned, you can experience problems eating and speaking, and also develop issues in your jaw joints. Teeth can become damaged, leading to more extensive dental problems. Teeth that are severely crowded, spaced, or out of alignment can lead to discomfort or pain in the teeth or jaws

At Emerald Orthodontics in Grimsby, we provide treatment for adults and children, providing comprehensive care for your entire family. Your child should visit with one of our orthodontists at around age seven so we can evaluate and observe their development, diagnose and treat any orthodontic issues early. Saying that, it is never too late to seek orthodontic treatment options as a teenager or an adult, and we welcome you to contact our office for a consultation with our orthodontists, Dr. Jessica Nardone or Dr. Ches MacNeil.

Our orthodontists will discuss the best orthodontic options for you if required, and can design and fit orthodontic devices including braces, clear aligners, habit breakers palate expanders, functional appliances, night guards, and more to help you get a beautiful confident smile!
