Orthodontic issues can impact everybody-kids, teens and adults. People born with perfect teeth are the exception, not the rule.

Malocclusion, or a “bad bite,” can cause problems with chewing, oral hygiene, and speaking – not to mention appearance.

A bad bite can be genetic or can be caused by prolonged thumb-sucking, tongue-thrusting, poor dental hygiene, accidents, birth defects or other medical conditions.

Dr. Nick pairs cutting-edge tech with the skill of moving teeth. This helps Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of Forsyth – Cumming successfully treat many dental issues, like:

  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Protruding teeth
  • Impacted teeth

Fixed Appliances Vs. Removable Appliances

At Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of Forsyth – Cumming, we believe you should be fully educated when it comes to your treatment. The first step to correcting an orthodontic problem is learning about it.

It’s helpful for patients around Cumming, to understand the difference between fixed and removable appliances.

Dr. Nick attaches fixed appliances, like braces, to your teeth and won’t take them off until you complete your treatment at Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of Forsyth – Cumming.

When Dr. Nick prescribes a removable appliance like our clear aligner system, you’ll wear them most of the day. But you can take the trays out as needed.

Besides the obvious differences, Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of Forsyth – Cumming uses clear aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. Dr. Nick generally uses fixed appliances for more serious issues.
