Orthodontics Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosing, treating and preventing irregularities in teeth, bite and facial structure. These irregularities if neglected can be devastating to children and can cause severe problems in adult life. Diagnosing and treating problems early can be less costly and result in less treatment time. Although most orthodontic treatment is performed during childhood and adolescence many more adults are realizing the benefits of orthodontics and are seeking treatment. We realize every patient has different needs and expectations which we work together to accommodate. At Integrity Dental we strive to create an open, friendly atmosphere. We treat our patients as we would our own families, encouraging them to ask questions and voice any concerns. Dr. Elke has had extensive training in straight wire and appliance therapy. His experience has been that in most cases, problems can be corrected non-surgically, even in some who have been told surgery was the only solution. Non-extraction, non-surgical orthodontics is very possible in all but the most extreme cases. All of our patients receive the benefit of a case review consultation with a world renowned orthodontic specialist out of the United States that Dr. Elke has worked with for over 20 years. Our orthodontic team regularly attends further education courses in order to provide our patients with the best, most up to date care and products. With advancement in technology we are able to reduce treatment time, lessen frequency of treatment and minimize discomfort to our patients. With successful orthopedic orthodontics treatment benefits include comfortable jaw position, correct bite, improved airway, increased chance of keeping teeth over a lifetime, relief from jaw joint and tooth pain, as well as a beautiful, confident smile and a more stable dental situation for years to come.
