Dr. Rolando Guzman, DDS

Orthodontics, is the first specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth, which is achieved using different kinds of forces.

Procedures typically performed by Dr. Guzman:

• Braces.
• Invisalign.
