Straightening teeth used to come with a certain visual cost. Metal brackets, tightening appointments, and a constant reminder that treatment was underway. That expectation has shifted.

12/11/2025

Something strange starts happening inside the jaw when stress creeps in quietly. The body holds tension without permission, and the teeth end up taking the hit. It is happening more often now.
