GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – A beautiful smile is more than just straight teeth – your bite is also a big part of creating the perfect smile. When you go through orthodontic treatment, it’s important to wear rubber bands and elastics to help correct your bite. Today we have Dr. Jeff Heinz from Heinz Orthodontics, our Orthodontic Expert.

Dr. Heinz says you don’t need a referral from your dentist, but it’s often recommended by a personal dentist if you need extensive dental work done. Orthodontic work can help to fix an unhealthy bite. Some signs of an unhealthy bite include worn teeth, jaw pain, or aesthetic concerns. Orthodontics can also be used to close spaces of lost teeth.

There are several options for adults, like traditional metal braces and clear options, and very popular aligners like Invisalign and Spark.

The team at Heinz Orthodontics is great during your treatments. It can fit into anyone’s life or schedule. They have the latest technology and treatment methods to make each patient’s treatment customized and as efficient as possible.
