Invisalign Orthodontics
Enjoy a beautiful and straight smile by visiting the clinic of Richard E. Gift, DDS, MS. Our dental facility is proud to offer a number of orthodontic treatments to correct issues with your teeth, including the use of Invisalign, in Parma, OH. Invisalign is a style of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to push your teeth back into shape. The aligners are invisible while worn, and they can be removed. This makes them the ideal solution for small adjustments and simple fixes.
Braces
Harmful oral habits aren't just about failing to brush and floss. There are some ways you can harm your teeth, gums, or jaw without even knowing it. People who engage in these habits as children are much more likely to face complications as teens or adults, often requiring braces or other forms of dental alignment. Richard E. Gift, DDS, MS has a solution: our behavior modification therapy in Parma, OH.
