Minneapolis Orthodontist

Having an attractive smile is important. Having an improved self-image while alleviating physical health problems are two of the biggest benefits to orthodontic treatment. Misaligned, crooked, or crowded teeth can all benefit from orthodontic treatment. Dr. Lelich offers the following teeth straightening options:

• Braces: Traditional braces include permanent brackets and wires that shift teeth into alignment. They can be used to treat various conditions including an open bite, overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Invisalign clear aligners offer more freedom than traditional braces because they can be removed when eating or drinking.
• TMJ/TMD Therapy: Those frequent headaches, annoying jaw click, or neck pain may actually be a symptom of temporomandibular disorder. A nightguard or braces may be required to help fix the issue.
• Surgical Orthodontics Consultation: Also known as orthognathic surgery, it is a type of orthodontic treatment used to correct severe orthodontic cases including a poor bite, abnormalities in the jawbone, or malocclusion. If needed, Dr. Lelich will work with you to ensure you find an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to provide you with the best care possible.
