Although some half million new patients begin
orthodontic treatment each year, an estimated ninety
percent of all youngsters between the ages of twelve
and seventeen with correctable mal-occlusions or den-
tal alignment problems are left untreated. Those who
fail to seek treatment in the belief that they cannot

teeth straightened and bites properly aligned, should
know that the potential health dividends coming to
them as a result of having done so, will far outweigh the cost of treatment.
Not only does orthodontic treatment improve the appearance and function
of the teeth, but also it brings about an improvement in self-esteem. Addi-
tionally, properly positioned teeth are easier to maintain and can lessen the
potential of future dental problems, not limited to decay or cavities.
These benefits are not being lost on adult patients, who for whatever
reason, had to forego orthodontic treatment in their youth, are choosing to
receive orthodontic correction now. It is never too late to undergo orth-
odontic treatment.
Orthodontic problems can affect one's emotional and psychological status,
as well as physical health. When people look better, they generally feel bet-
ter about themselves. This enhances self-esteem and self-confidence, which
play an important role in social life and career opportunities. To help you
evaluate your own situation or that of your child, visit an orthodontist spe-
cialist for a consultation.
Our office is located on the border of West Bloomfield/Commerce Town-
ship 2300 Haggerty Road, Suite 1160, 248-926-4100.
