Porter Orthodontics - Baton Rouge

Sometimes teeth get "stuck" in the jaw. 🦷 Early X-rays help us spot these "impacted" teeth before they cause issues for the rest of your smile. Is your child 7 yet? It’s time for their first check-up!

Some bite and jaw concerns need more than braces or aligners alone. 🦷

At Porter Orthodontics, Dr. Joseph Porter works closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to plan orthognathic surgery when needed, helping improve bite function, facial balance, breathing, comfort, and long-term oral health.

With advanced imaging and digital planning, each treatment plan is carefully customized for more precise, stable results. ✨

Think jaw surgery may be part of your orthodontic journey? Schedule a consultation with Porter Orthodontics to learn your options.

To your dog, your retainer is a chew toy. 🐶 To you, it’s an investment. Keep it in the case and out of reach!

Has your pet ever tried to "eat" your smile? 😂

Science check! 🧬 Wisdom teeth don't actually have enough "push" to crowd your front teeth. That's usually just natural late growth—and why retainers are for life!
Is your retainer still fitting? If not, give us a call!
