Why Braces?
Your dentist may have discussed with you the
benefits of having healthy teeth and proper
jaw alignment. Crooked and crowded teeth are
hard to clean and maintain. This can result in
tooth decay, worsen gum disease, and lead to
tooth loss. Other orthodontic problems can contribute to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function, excessive stress on gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth, or misalignment of the jaw joints. These can lead to chronic headaches and face or neck pain. Treatment by an orthodontist can be less costly than the additional care required to treat dental problems arising as a result of orthodontic problems. For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. After your braces come off, you'll feel more self-confident.
