Benefits of Orthodontics

Dr. Kirchhoff’s goal is to help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile. Malocclusions, commonly called "bad bites," may contribute to conditions which cause tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction, loss of teeth, mouth breathing, and jaw problems. Treatment by a specialist to correct the original problem is often less costly than the dental care required to treat the more serious problems that can develop in later years. When it comes to orthodontics, that old saying is true: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
