    Straight Teeth in Less Time

When I saw that my child’s teeth were going to be crooked like mine, I was dreading the years of braces and orthodontist appointments and limited diets that I saw stretching ahead of us. I was pleased to find out that braces today are very different from braces when I was a kid. They don’t need to be worn for nearly as long, and they aren’t as intrusive, either.

I was so impressed that I started a blog to talk about modern day tooth straightening techniques. Braces have come a long way.
