Braces: More than Just a Great Smile
A beautiful, straight smile is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about braces. But braces do much more than just straighten crooked teeth. They reposition crowded teeth, correct overbites and underbites, and help align your jaws.
And orthodontics don’t just make you look better; they make you feel better, too.
- Crooked teeth are harder to clean, which can impact the health of your teeth and gums.
- A misaligned bite can cause pain and jaw or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems.
- In serious cases, a mouthful of crooked teeth and a bad bite can make it difficult to chew food properly, which can lead to digestive issues.
Orthodontics can give you the straight teeth and proper bite that will help you chew better, smile more often, and keep your teeth longer.
Braces For Children and Adults
Though braces are often associated with adolescents, more and more adults are opting to straighten their teeth. We do recommend that parents consider orthodontic treatment for children between the ages of 11 and 13. Younger patients have more malleable bones, which makes for a shorter length of treatment and less discomfort. And though it may take a little longer for adults to see results, we encourage anyone who is interested in bettering their smile and the health of their mouth to consider orthodontics.
Here at Quality Dental Care, we provide both ceramic and metal braces at an affordable price.
