More Info

Faces not Braces! Most people think of straight teeth when you mention braces. What most don't realize is that orthodontics is a lot more than straight teeth. Facial balance, airway, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) status, and a functional occlusion or bite are critical and the most important aspects in any treatment plan that is offered. Creating facial balance and harmony between soft and hard tissue is what we strive to achieve in all patients. Yes, we straighten teeth but we also consider the net effect of treatment on the overall appearance and dental health of each individual patient. A beautiful smile with properly balanced facial aesthetics is just the beginning of the treatment philosophy. The beauty of the technology that is being offered today is rooted in basic principles of physics. This has enabled far fewer extractions of permanent teeth, improvements in airway considerations, and above all an orthodontic experience which most would agree is more comfortable than anticipated.

General Info

Not all orthodontists practice the same or share the same treatment philosophy. Dr. Seligman's focus is beyond straight teeth. Dr. Seligman chose orthodontics as a profession because it is a lifetime career based in constant learning. Utilizing other specialities including Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Implants, and restorative Dentistry often play major roles in the final result.Most patients don't realize that facial aesthetics are greatly affected by the sub-structure of the face that supports the lips and other facial components like jaws, teeth and gums. Most of our patients are surprised to learn that the gum tissue is very pliable and can oftentimes be moved into a more optimal position enhancing facial aesthetics. When we conduct our diagnosis we will present our findings and explain what facial balance means and the possible options for enhancement.
