At Dominion Orthodontics, one of the most common questions we hear from new patients is:
“Will braces change the shape of my face?”

The short answer? Yes—but in a good way. Braces do more than just straighten your teeth. By aligning your bite and jaw, orthodontic treatment can subtly enhance your facial symmetry, improve your profile, and even give you a more balanced smile. Let’s take a closer look at how braces might change your face—and why that’s not something to fear.

A beautiful, healthy smile is more than just straight teeth - it’s about proper alignment and a comfortable bite, too. If you or your child have noticed upper front teeth that stick out more than usual, it could be a sign of what's commonly known as buck teeth. In this blog, we’ll explore what causes buck teeth, why early treatment is important, and how modern orthodontics offers solutions to create smiles that look great and feel even better.
