Orthodontics
Put simply, orthodontics is the area of dentistry focused on repositioning teeth and jaws. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including traditional braces, clear aligners (Invisalign®), growth modifying appliances, or a combination thereof.

What is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has undergone years of additional training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. They are experts in diagnosing, preventing and treating malocclusions, which are problems with the positioning, spacing, and alignment of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontists, like Drs. Hickman and Habibi, help patients achieve beautiful, functional smiles through the use of braces, Invisalign® and other appliances.
