Mellion Orthodontics offers early, adolescent, adult, and surgical treatment services. Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the teeth, headaches, and jaw pain.
