Hardly anyone has a “perfect smile”. One of the most common issues is with the alignment or spacing of teeth. Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on straightening the teeth and aligning the bite.
Most people seek orthodontic treatment in their teenage years. However, many adults need orthodontic treatment as part of restorative dentistry or full mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Caves refers patients to his father, Dr. Sammy Caves, who has practiced Orthodontics in Columbus for over 25 years.

Typical orthodontic problems treated with braces include:
- Crowded Teeth

Orthodontic treatment ranges from person to person and can last anywhere from 6 to 24 months, depending on your condition. Dr. Caves will work with you to help you or your child maintain proper oral hygiene throughout your orthodontic treatment. Caring for braces can be a challenge, especially for adolescents. Our staff will teach you the proper techniques to care for your braces and teeth.
This was the highest rating dentist in the area I wanted. I went the first time because I broke a tooth. I went in and they had me all fixed up in one day and fit me in for my 6 month cleaning. The staff ladies are absolutely darling and so sweet and tentative to your needs. And Dr. Caves is a warming dentist and not in the slightest intimidating. Which is a very high quality when I look for dental care. I was also told by another dentist I’d never be able to get braces because I had a root canal and a crown, but he is referring me to his father who is an orthodontist and says it should be no problem to get braces. So I can’t wait to meet his father and being my journey to a beautiful smile. I highly recommend this dentistry. – Anna Sullivan
