Orthodontics in Irvine, CA

We find that many of our patients don’t realize the close relationship between crooked teeth and future dental problems. Poorly-aligned teeth are harder to keep clean—in some cases, it’s impossible to brush well or floss between teeth. So decay and gum disease become common events.
