Orthodontics by Minneapolis Dentist Dr. Heather Carr

Could Orthodontics benefit you?

Few things affect our self-esteem and confidence like our smile. However, the condition of your smile can go beyond effecting just your appearance by negatively impacting your health. Could you or a family member benefit from a straighter smile, proper TMJ alignment, or more confidence? Orthodontics by Dr. Heather Carr can help.

When teeth are crowded and misaligned, patients can experience difficulty with proper hygiene, decay, bite misalignment, sinus problems, and jaw joint conditions leading to chronic headaches. Excellent orthodontic treatment offers you the potential for a beautiful smile for life - and a straighter smile to make brushing and flossing more effective. Our highly trained team will also ensure that the bite is properly aligned for the optimum position and muscle relaxation.

Keeping your smile attractive during and after treatment is important to many patients. This is one reason why our experienced Minneapolis orthodontist offers the latest in orthodontic solutions, including the amazingly convenient and indistinguishable Invisalign aligners. She also provides patients with the latest options in ceramic braces, designed to blend better with their natural smile.

"I enjoy orthodontics immensely. I value the opportunity to make such a difference in the patient’s smile and their self-confidence. Also, given the ongoing nature of orthodontic treatment, I really get to know the patients and their families. I love watching the kids grow up!" -Dr. Heather Carr, Minneapolis Orthodontist for Point Family Dentistry 

Whether you are looking for a premier Bloomington, Burnsville or Minneapolis orthodontist, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Carr. The result may well be the smile of your dreams and better health, for today, tomorrow and for years to come!

As the Minneapolis orthodontist of choice, Dr. Heather Carr helps Burnsville, Bloomington and Minneapolis families get on the road to a lifetime of healthy confidence. She recommends beginning exams by the age of 7, or sooner if required, to ensure your child's teeth and bite are developing properly, to rule out any tooth eruption problems and treat any impacted teeth. 

On average, children can begin orthodontic treatment about the age of 12, when their permanent teeth and erupted along with their molars. However, if you are dissatisfied with your smile at any age, Dr. Carr can match the best orthodontic solution to your circumstances and desired results.
