Open Bite

Front teeth don’t touch when biting, leaving a gap.

Crowding

★★★★★
My 7-year-old son was referred to Smile to get corrective orthodontics for a cross bite. Everyone in this office was kind, patient, and so great with him being that he was so young. Dr. Morina was absolutely amazing with him and connected with him on another level that made my son comfortable to go to the dentist. Whether your child is 7 or 15, I highly recommend this orthodontist office to anyone. Tiffany Tessier
