The Orthodontic Department of the Branch Dental Clinic Annapolis is dedicated to correcting malocclusions (bad bite) in order to improve esthetics, function and long term health of your teeth and supporting structures. When you have a malocclusion, your jaw and or lips do not line up normally. As a result your teeth may be crooked or crowded, your bite may not function correctly, or your jaws may appear unbalanced. Orthodontists use specially designed appliances (braces) and other corrective procedures to achieve tooth and jaw alignment.  More information on the orthodontic profession can be found on our web links. 

The Orthodontic Department consists of one Orthodontist, and one Dental Technician. Discuss with your general dentist if orthodontics is indicated for you. To schedule an appointment when referred for treatment by the general dentist, or for any questions, please call 410-293-3927 between the hours of 0700 - 1600 Monday through Friday.
