Orthodontics is the treatment for improper bites (malocclusion). If untreated improper bites, or malocclusion, can cause tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationship, or both.

Orthodontic treatment can shift the teeth into a more ideal position and can also influence the control and modification of facial growth. This can be carried out as a preventative treatment or for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of your teeth increasing confidence and self-esteem.

Having misaligned, crowded or overlapping teeth can affect people’s overall appearance and confidence. This can also be a major contributor to ongoing issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Teeth may also spread in the mouth and find themselves in the wrong place. This is often an issue for children whose adult teeth battle for position in the mouth.

Although highly complex orthodontics is most frequently performed by specialists, Dr. James Malouf is more than capable to deliver results in most cases, and possibly at a lower cost. As part of our consultation, we  identify any potential issues and then advise the most suitable course of action.
