Choosing the Perfect Orthodontist
At Aligned House of Orthodontics, Dr. Kuhta and Dr. Browning know that the right orthodontist can make a huge difference in both healthy bites and confident smiles. Orthodontic care goes beyond straightening teeth—it improves how you chew, speak, and maintain overall jaw and oral health.
We want to help you understand what to look for in a trusted orthodontist and how we guide each patient through a personalized treatment plan.
What Does an Orthodontist Do?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist trained to diagnose, prevent, and correct misalignment of teeth and jaws. While general dentists handle routine checkups and cleanings, Dr. Kuhta and Dr. Browning focus specifically on realignment, bite correction, and jaw positioning.
Orthodontic care addresses common concerns like crowded or gapped teeth, overbites and underbites, crossbites, and jaw alignment issues. Every treatment we create is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a functional and beautiful smile.

Our Orthodontic Treatments
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are highly effective for mild to complex alignment issues. They give Dr. Kuhta and Dr. Browning full control over tooth movement, providing consistent and reliable results across a wide variety of cases.
Clear and Aesthetic Braces
Clear braces are discreet while delivering excellent results. Many teens and adults prefer these options to keep their orthodontic treatment low-key, without compromising on effectiveness.
Modern Orthodontic Systems
New bracket designs and advanced wire technologies allow teeth to move more efficiently, often with less discomfort and shorter treatment times. Our team explains each step so you feel comfortable throughout your journey.
Choosing the Right Option
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Dr. Kuhta and Dr. Browning design treatment plans that fit your unique tooth structure, bite alignment, and personal goals, ensuring comfort and long-term success.
Selecting an Orthodontist for Children and Teenagers
The Importance of Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Screenings typically start around age seven. Early evaluations allow Dr. Kuhta and Dr. Browning to monitor jaw growth, address potential issues early, and sometimes reduce the need for more extensive treatments later.
Friendly Orthodontic Therapy for Children
We make children feel comfortable and confident at every visit. Our doctors explain the process in simple terms, helping your child feel calm, cooperative, and engaged in their treatment.
Signs of Orthodontic Problems in Children
Protruding or widely spaced teeth, difficulty chewing or speaking, and noticeable jaw growth issues can signal it’s time for an orthodontic visit. Early attention can make a significant difference in your child’s smile and overall oral health.
