Get the Most From Your Smile

It's pretty rare that anyone is born with a perfect smile, and that's why orthodontic care can be great for kids, teens, and even adults. Malocclusion, or a "bad bite", can lead to issues with how you chew, speak, and smile.

A bad bite can be caused by genetics or outside issues like thumb sucking, dental disease, poor dental hygiene, accidents, birth defects, or other medical conditions.

Dr. Willcox and the team combine the best in orthodontic technology with decades of experience. This helps Bull Mountain Orthodontics successfully care for all kinds of dental issues, such as:

Gaps between your teeth
Crowded teeth
Overbite
Underbite
Crossbite
Protruding teeth
Impacted teeth

Metal Braces & Other Options

At Bull Mountain Orthodontics, modern metal braces are still our most popular option for most patients interested in treating their smile.

While metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in Tigard, you have other options, too.

Dr. Willcox will work closely with you at your first free consultation to find the perfect treatment option for your specific smile goals.

Surgical Orthodontics

Sometimes getting a healthy bite and balanced smile requires more than orthodontic treatment alone. Surgical orthodontics, or orthognathic surgery, combines orthodontic care with jaw surgery to correct significant jaw alignment issues that can affect chewing, speaking, breathing, and facial balance.

At Bull Mountain Orthodontics, we work with trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeons to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Braces or clear aligners are typically used before and after surgery to ensure the teeth and jaws fit together properly.

The result is improved function, enhanced facial harmony, and a healthier, more confident smile. If you've been told you may need jaw surgery, our team can help you understand your options and guide you through the process.

Fixed Appliances Vs. Removable Appliances

Bull Mountain Orthodontics believes you should be fully empowered when it comes to your treatment. The first step to dealing with an orthodontic problem is learning about it.

Patients in and around Tigard benefit from understanding the difference between fixed and removable appliances. Dr. Willcox attaches fixed appliances, like braces, to your teeth. They won't ever come off until you've finished your treatment.

When Dr. Willcox prescribes a removable appliance like Invisalign's aligner system, you'll wear it most of the day, but since the trays are removable, you can take them out for meals and special occasions.

Besides the obvious differences, Bull Mountain Orthodontics tends to use Invisalign aligners to treat milder or more moderate orthodontic problems. Dr. Willcox and the team tend to go for modern metal braces or clear braces for more complex cases.
