Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists can correct misaligned, crowded or protrusive teeth as well as misaligned jaws. Orthodontic treatment can improve dental health as well as create a beautiful smile, functional bite and aligned jaws. An attractive smile can help improve your self confidence and esteem for a lifetime!
Orthodontists are dentists who have specialized in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists complete a four year college degree, followed by a four year graduate program in dentistry. What is unique about orthodontists, is that after dental school, they complete and additional two to three years of post-doctoral training focusing solely on the specialty of orthodontics. With a full-time curriculum focused on learning the biology of tooth movement, facial growth and development and esthetics, orthodontists are the most highly qualified dentists to straighten teeth and correct jaw abnormalities.
Dr. Labbe and his associates are some of the most well respected Doctors in their field.
