Your board-certified, family orthodontist (Dr. Battle) is committed to creating balanced, healthy smiles for our Orlando communities.
A huge part of that commitment is providing truly comprehensive orthodontic care.
Through dentofacial orthopedics, we take orthodontic treatment one step further to achieve a clinically excellent outcome that transforms your appearance and confidence.
It’s not just about the appearance of the smile. It’s about facial structure too; where ‘dento’ meets ‘facial’.
While orthodontic treatment primarily focuses on the position of the teeth and jawbones, dentofacial orthopedics focuses on the development of the face as it relates to the teeth and jaws.
The purpose of dentofacial orthopedics is to guide the bones that support the teeth and contribute to the appearance of the face to promote harmonious, proportional development.
By combining orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics into a custom treatment plan, your Orlando orthodontist can optimize your aesthetics and functionality with greater comfort and efficiency.
Dr. Battle has over 20 years of experience in both orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
His educational background includes a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies with High Honors in the Specialty of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
With Premiere Orthodontics in Orlando, you get more than ‘straight teeth’. Dr. Battle creates beautiful smiles by shaping the foundation beneath them, designing balanced, harmonious results that enhance both appearance and overall facial proportions.
Dentofacial orthopedic treatment is most efficient when the jawbones and facial bones are still developing. Treatment that begins while the bones are still growing works in tandem with the patient’s natural development process.
Because children’s bones are still developing, early intervention (or early interception) with dentofacial orthopedics is highly effective and can reduce treatment time significantly.
Dr. Battle has deep expertise in early intervention and kids’ orthodontics. At your child’s first orthodontist appointment, he carefully evaluates jaw growth, facial development, and bite alignment to determine whether early guidance would benefit your child now, or if monitoring is the best approach.
To find out whether your teeth or jawbone alignment is affecting your facial structure, you can book your complimentary consultation with Premiere Orthodontics.
Your board-certified orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedic expert, Dr. Battle, will perform a full exam to assess your teeth and jawbones.
Orthodontic appliances may be used alongside braces or clear aligners to treat the jaws, teeth, and facial features as efficiently as possible. Once we examine your smile, we’ll determine the best plan of action and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a healthy smile.
We’ll start with a no-pressure, comprehensive smile exam, and Dr. Battle will discuss his findings with you. We’ll help you understand your treatment options and feel confident about the next steps.
When you complete full treatment with us, you get a Lifetime Guarantee on your results. That means if your teeth shift after treatment (due to not wearing your retainer), Dr. Battle will replace your braces.
Learn more about our Lifetime Guarantee and how it protects your investment for life, and schedule your complimentary consultation at one of our Orlando orthodontic offices in Waterford Lakes or Winter Springs/Oviedo.
