If you have a gap between teeth caused by malocclusion – poor smile alignment – our Des Moines, IA dentist’s office can help! Through Invisalign treatment, we can help you fix this and other issues discreetly.

Those problems include a higher risk for TMJ disorder, as poor smile alignment can lead increased tension on your jaw joints and muscles. (more…)
