How We Treat Bite Issues
If your teeth or jaws don't line up quite right, it's more than a cosmetic issue—it can affect how you chew, speak, and even breathe. Over time, untreated bite problems can cause chronic jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, or even lead to surgery down the road.
That's where we come in. At Walla Walla Orthodontics, La Grande Orthodontics, and Christopher Orthodontics, we use appliances like palate expanders and TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) to guide growing jaws and straighten smiles—often without the need for surgery or extractions.
Palate Expanders
A palate expander is a small device that gently widens the upper jaw. This creates space for crowded teeth and helps your bite fit together the way it should.
For many kids and teens, expanders are a simple, effective way to correct big bite problems early—making braces or aligners easier (and often faster) later on.
TADs
TADs are tiny pins that act like anchors to help us move teeth with extra accuracy. They allow us to correct more complex bite issues without relying on headgear or surgery.
TADs are a game-changer for difficult cases and can help shorten your treatment time while improving your final results.
Dr. Christopher and Dr. Farjo will explain everything in a way that's easy to understand—so you feel confident and in control every step of the way.

Protect Your New Smile With a Retainer
Our clinics have retainer options tailored to your needs.
After your orthodontic treatment, retainers are the key to maintaining your newly aligned smile for the long term. We use lingual-bonded retainers and clear Essix retainers.
Lingual-Bonded Retainers
Lingual-bonded retainers are fixed discreetly behind your teeth. They provide continuous support without being seen, so your smile stays straight effortlessly.
Clear Essix Retainers
Clear Essix retainers are custom-made, removable trays that fit over your teeth. They're a convenient, nearly invisible way to maintain your smile.
