The first and most common reasons why your orthodontist would recommend extracting teeth is due to overcrowding and bite correction. Your orthodontist may also recommend tooth extractions for cosmetic reasons or because you have a severely damaged tooth that has a poor prognosis and is unlikely to last you for the rest of your life.

The purpose of rubber bands (elastics) is usually to correct an overbite or an underbite. They are also used to help move teeth in a way that braces may not be able to do alone.

For most people, their bite can be corrected by simply moving just the teeth, but in some cases moving just the teeth may not be enough and movement of the jaws themselves is required to adequately correct the bite. Patients with severe overbites, underbites, or crossbites, or those with skeletal asymmetries may require orthognathic surgery in addition to braces to correct their bite and achieve a desired facial balance.

S BApril 1, 2024Joe was my dentist before when he worked at Western Dental. I found him again and didn't even realize. Unfortunately Western Dental was a horrible place and I needed braces again. He opened up his own orthodontist business and I'm so thankful to have found him again. This time around I'm actually getting the right treatment and can fix my teeth the correct way. Everyone who works here is great! I recommend coming to them! Great service and wonderful people. Thank you guys!JessicaFebruary 22, 2024We love this orthodontist. The receptionist Yesica is amazing and super sweet. Joe always comes out to say hello and all the other staff are great. I am super happy my daughter decided to get her braces here. They are always welcoming and make you feel at home. And the massage chairs are amazing.valerie89 cisnerosFebruary 9, 2024Best orthodontics in the high desert started the treatment for my daughter, staff friendly, clean,patient with my daughter she scared of dentist and they make her feel comfortable.I have braces as well I wish I would have gone here instead.Claudia ZunigaFebruary 3, 2024wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the exceptional service we received during my daughter orthodontic visit at your practice.

Highly recommendAnt SolisJanuary 23, 2024Rocio & Yesi took care of me today, they were very professional & friendly. Definitely recommend! Thank you for your service !JaniceJanuary 17, 2024After several consultations with different offices, I chose Joe Orthodontics for my daughter’s ortho treatment due to the hospitality, overall treatment plan and price. Dr. Joe and his staff treat you like family. Everyone, down to the receptionist ensure you feel right at home at every visit. They’ve been more than willing to fit you in for an emergency visit when needed. They’re willing to accommodate appointment times around school schedules. They go above and beyond to ensure you are happy with the treatment. My child’s treatment has shown major improvement in just as little as 6 months and I can’t wait to see the end results! She has already gotten so many compliments including from her pediatric dentist- Dr. Bell asking if she’s near the end of her treatment yet she still has about a year left. We’re definitely happy with Dr. Joe and will be bringing in my son next! FYI, the massage chairs and complimentary barista bar in the waiting room which includes coffee, tea and water is always the icing on the cake for me 🙂Lisa Ann SmithJanuary 10, 2024Amazing staff.

The kids are excited to have braces lol and Dad loved the massage chairs 💺Melika GilesJanuary 6, 2024The staff is my family they make me feel right at home!
