If you have heard a snoring person suddenly stop breathing, then gasp for air, you have witnessed an 'apnea'. These partial airflow restrictions and complete pauses typically last between 10 and 30 seconds. These pauses can…

What are braces?

Braces straighten teeth and correct bite problems using brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure. Options include metal, ceramic (tooth-coloured) and lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Treatment usually lasts 18–36 months.

Braces: specialist or general dentist?

Orthodontists provide most braces treatment and have 2–3 extra years of training in tooth and jaw alignment. Some general dentists offer braces for simpler cases. Complex bites and jaw growth problems are usually best handled by an orthodontist.

1 of Oro Valley's 27 clinics offering braces has an orthodontist on staff. See orthodontists in Oro Valley
