Not Just for Cosmetic Purposes!
Orthodontic treatments range in a wide variety, such as traditional metal braces, to tooth colored braces, and the latest, Invisalign options.
Treatments are generally used in the corrections of malocclusions and other “bad bite” problems.
Having an abnormal bite can result in further health problems, including:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Speech and/or chewing impediments
- Tooth loss
- Jaw problems
It is equally important to maintain a balanced diet for your dental health. Eating too many sugary foods can lead to plaque build-up around your brackets that can permanently stain or damage teeth.
The kind of orthodontic treatment you will need will depend on your preference and the options provided by your orthodontist.
It’s Never Too Late!
Bite problems usually, become noticeable between ages six – twelve and treatment often begins around ages eight and fourteen.
Starting treatment while a child is still growing helps produce optimal results, but that doesn’t mean adults can sport braces too!
It’s never too late to improve dental health or straighten healthy teeth!
For a beautiful smile!
