About Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the specialized area of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve function, appearance and long-term oral health. We provide expert orthodontic care in Safford, Arizona, helping patients of all ages achieve straighter smiles and healthier bites through professional guidance and personalized treatment.

Why Orthodontic Care Matters

Proper alignment is about more than just aesthetics. Misaligned teeth and bite problems can lead to difficulties with chewing, speech, cleaning and long-term wear on teeth. Orthodontics addresses these issues by gently guiding teeth and jaws into better positions over time.

Our dentists and team evaluate your specific needs, using diagnostic tools and detailed planning to develop a strategy that promotes long-term success. Whether correcting crowding, spacing, overbites or jaw imbalance, the goal is always a well-functioning, attractive smile.

Our Services:

A Collaborative and Supportive Process

Orthodontic care is a journey that involves regular monitoring, consistent habits and strong communication between the patient and our dental team. At Copper Hills Dental, we emphasize education and empowerment, helping each patient understand their treatment process and how to care for their teeth throughout.

Tips for successful orthodontic care include:

  • Practicing excellent oral hygiene to protect teeth and gums during treatment
  • Avoiding foods that can damage orthodontic appliances
  • Following all care instructions from your dentists
  • Attending scheduled appointments for adjustments and progress checks
  • Using retainers after treatment to maintain alignment

Benefits of orthodontic treatment include:

  • Improved bite function and comfort
  • Easier cleaning and long-term oral health
  • Enhanced facial symmetry and smile aesthetics
  • Reduced risk of tooth wear and jaw strain
  • Increased self-confidence and comfort when smiling

Orthodontics is not just for teens. Children, adolescents and adults can all benefit from treatment tailored to their age and needs. Early evaluations help identify potential issues before they worsen, while adult orthodontics focuses on discreet, effective solutions for alignment.

We are committed to making orthodontic care approachable and rewarding. We provide supportive, personalized care from consultation to completion, helping every patient feel confident and informed throughout the process.
