AAO Warns Consumers: Teeth Straightening is No DIY

At Melbourne Orthodontics, our goal is to help people achieve the beautiful smile that they deserve. Recently, the American Association of Orthodontists has shared news that there are several online sources claiming that people can straighten their own teeth at home. We warn you that those claims are completely false and can be extremely harmful to your health.

As your orthodontist in Melbourne, FL, we encourage you to be cautious of any do-it-yourself teeth straightening solutions. Dr. Chad Reddick is an orthodontist with years of specialized experience and education to aid him in properly caring for your teeth. Moving teeth on your own without any guidance from an orthodontist may result in a permanent loss of teeth and a lifetime of dental issues.

If you’re considering straighter teeth, look no further than your seasoned orthodontist in Melbourne, FL. Remember, if you have any questions regarding your orthodontic treatment, please don’t hesitate to contact our staff at Melbourne Orthodontics.
