What is orthodontic treatment? Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth. Why should I have orthodontic treatment?

Every CEO knows their numbers and how they’re important to running a successful business. I recently talked with another dental spouse who had just opened a practice.

Below are some tips to improve the value of your practice…
