Orthodontic Care for People of All Ages in Kitchener and Waterloo
Orthodontics involves the gentle movement of teeth over time into a more desirable position. Several different techniques can be used to achieve this result. Brackets can be affixed to the teeth and guided by a wire into proper position. Invisalign utilizes a series of removable clear trays to achieve the same results. Following active treatment a retainer is used to maintain the correct over time.
Straightening teeth has many benefits, like improved oral hygiene, realigned bite and increased confidence from a beautiful smile.
Dr. Degen has taken numerous comprehensive orthodontic courses. This enables him to provide general practitioner orthodontic care for many types of malocclusions (misalignments). Complex cases can also be identified and referred to an orthodontic specialist if required.
