Crafting Beautiful Smiles With Percision And Care
Orthodontics at White Mountain Dental
Orthodontics is the process of gently moving teeth into healthier positions to improve alignment, bite function, and long-term stability. At White Mountain Dental in North Conway, NH, we evaluate your smile goals, bite relationship, and oral health to recommend an orthodontic plan that fits your lifestyle.
Why Straight Teeth Matter
When teeth are crowded, spaced, or out of alignment, plaque can be harder to remove and certain teeth may take extra chewing pressure. Orthodontic treatment helps create a more balanced bite and can support gum health by making daily brushing and flossing more effective.
- Crowding and overlap Creates space for easier cleaning and a more even smile line.
- Gaps and spacing Improves tooth contact and helps reduce food trapping between teeth.
- Bite concerns Addresses bite imbalance that can contribute to chipping, wear, or jaw strain.
- Confidence in photos and conversations Helps you feel more comfortable showing your smile.

Orthodontics FAQ
- What problems can orthodontics fix?
- Orthodontics can address crowding, spacing, rotations, and bite issues where the upper and lower teeth don’t fit together evenly.
- Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
- No. Many adults benefit from orthodontics. As long as teeth and gums are healthy, treatment can be a great option at many ages.
- How long does orthodontic treatment take?
- Timing varies based on how much movement is needed and how consistently you follow the plan. We’ll review expected timelines after your evaluation.
- Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
- You may feel pressure or soreness when adjustments are made or when new stages begin. This is typically mild and temporary, and most patients adapt quickly.
- Will orthodontics improve my bite as well as my smile?
- Yes. A key goal is improving how your teeth fit together, which can reduce uneven wear and make chewing more comfortable.
- What if my teeth shifted after braces?
- It’s common for teeth to drift without retention. Orthodontics can often re-align teeth, and we’ll recommend retention to help keep results stable.

- Not always. Some cases require creating space, but many do not. We’ll explain your options and the reasons behind any recommendation.
