Who Needs Braces?

Braces aren’t just for preteens and teenagers. In fact, anyone who sees misalignment in their smile could benefit from braces. Our goal as a cosmetic dentist office is to help you reach your smile goals. Certainly, braces could be your solution. If you have any of the following conditions, talk to your dentist.

  • Crooked teeth can make it hard for you to eat or chew. Even if your teeth seem fine, crooked teeth cause stress to your jaw. We want you to love your smile both for functionality and aesthetics.
  • Crowded teeth or pushed together teeth cause soreness in your mouth, resulting in an inability to chew later on. To save yourself pain and discomfort, get braces before your teeth crowd more.
  • A misaligned smile is one that feels or looks out of place, easily fix a misaligned smile, making your teeth straight and healthy.
  • Gapped teeth, or teeth with holes or gaps between them, open your smile to bacterial buildup. Though gaps can be charming on some people, they can also affect your jaw’s function, making chewing difficult. Additionally, jaw malfunction can lead to pressure headaches that are difficult to treat.

With our in-house technology, we can fix most smiles with modern braces. Next time you visit us, talk to your cosmetic dentist about your options.

Benefits

First, let’s talk about the aesthetic changes after you have braces. We all know they can straighten, align, and beautify your teeth. But, did you know the lasting effect that this has on your life? Not only will a beautiful smile enhance your self-confidence but it will also change other people’s opinions of you as a result. Both your professional and personal relationships will grow based on your perfectly straight smile.

Luckily, aesthetic benefits aren’t the only reason to get braces. When you have misaligned teeth, your bite is often out of place as well. Additionally, crooked and gapped teeth affect your facial symmetry. With crooked teeth, you may experience tension headaches, pressure headaches, and general jaw pain from chewing. With the help of modern braces, you can fix your smile and the issues that arise from the misalignment.

Gum disease is yet another issue that braces can help with. Smiles with gaps, crowded teeth, and misaligned teeth have nooks and crannies that are more difficult to clean. Difficult spots lead to bacterial build up in the teeth and gums. Eventually, this develops into gum disease. With braces, those gaps and spaces are easier to clean with your daily oral hygiene routine.
