Successful orthodontic treatment is not only about straight teeth, but a delicate balance between the upper and lower teeth, the jaw and jaw joints, and the facial bones and muscles. All of these factors combine to create a person's facial appearance. Dr. Statler considers these inter-relationships to ensure that your smile and facial balance will be a source of pride and self-esteem for a lifetime!
