Highlight Your Smile
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 Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics successfully treat many dental issues, like:
-
- Gaps between teeth
-
- Crowded teeth
-
- Overbite
-
- Underbite
-
- Crossbite
-
- Protruding teeth

- Impacted teeth
Metal Braces & Other Options
Most patients we treat at Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics choose conventional metal braces to realign their teeth.
Modern metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in Cumming, but you have other options, too.
After your first free consultation exam, Dr. Nick will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed Appliances Vs. Removable Appliances
At Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, 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 Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics.
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, Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics uses clear aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. Dr. Nick generally uses fixed appliances for more serious issues.
