What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a series of tooth movements that, in the end, will grant you a beautiful straight smile. Many people choose to get orthodontics for aesthetic reasons alone, but there are other benefits too. Orthodontics can improve your facial profile, protect your teeth from damage, improve TMJ pain, and help you sleep and breathe better. You might be wondering, “How can orthodontics do all this?” Well, it’s because instead of only focusing on your teeth. Orthodontics in Owasso by Dr. Lim focuses on your jaw, too, to promote whole-body wellness. Dr. Lim can even help patients to promote jaw development, which will help them achieve a straight smile.
Orthodontics with Dr. Lim
While Dr. Lim is not an orthodontist specialist, he has over two decades of experience with orthodontic treatment. He has been mentored by prominent pioneers in the field of facial orthopedics. Dr. Lim’s studies and extensive clinical experience have confirmed his whole-body wellness approach as an effective method for correcting bite alignment and achieving a straight smile.
You might be searching for an orthodontist who can give your child a mouth full of beautiful straight teeth. Or perhaps you’ve had orthodontic treatment yourself and were disappointed with the results. You may even need to correct your bite because of problems caused by traditional treatment.
Whatever your orthodontic treatment needs may be, Dr. Lim can help.
Types of Owasso Orthodontics
Metal Braces and Clear Braces
It’s true that metal braces aren’t usually the look that people want to have as they’re undergoing orthodontics. However, sometimes it’s the best option to treat your orthodontic issues since clear aligners, like SureSmile, can’t treat everything.
Metal braces are a great option for people who need extensive work to achieve the smile of their dreams. Metal braces can correct the following:
- Large gaps
- Extensive crowding
- Severe crookedness
- Bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
- Misaligned jaw
- Unmatched dental midlines.
- Issues with chewing and speech
And there is more good news! Even if you need extensive work done and SureSmile won’t work for you, you can still have a discrete orthodontic treatment in Owasso with clear braces.

Facial Development Guidance
Facial development guidance promotes healthy jaw structure in children. Dr. Lim aims to treat the teeth, face, head, and body as a whole. Doing so ensures facial balance, a beautiful and healthy smile, optimal TMJ health, and open airways to support normal nasal breathing. This science-backed approach involves guiding facial bone structure to grow into the optimal positions that support a well-functioning bite. Instead of needlessly removing teeth or forcing them to fit into the space available, Dr. Lim uses special orthodontic materials to gently redirect the facial bones and create more space for the teeth.
