Orthodontics Columbus, GA

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.
