WIRES AND BRACES
FOR CHILDREN
THINKING ABOUT YOUR CHILD AND WHETHER ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT MIGHT BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT? YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. WE WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT WILL HELP YOUR CHILD BITE AND CHEW, AND CONTRIBUTE TO CLEAR SPEECH. WHEN TEETH FUNCTION PROPERLY, THEY TEND TO LOOK NICE. AN ATTRACTIVE SMILE IS A PLEASANT SIDE EFFECT OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT AND CAN HAVE EMOTIONAL BENEFITS. SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM MAY IMPROVE AS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT BRINGS TEETH, LIPS AND FACE INTO PROPORTION. STRAIGHT TEETH ARE LESS PRONE TO DECAY, GUM DISEASE AND INJURY.
FOR ADULTS
TODAY, ONE IN FOUR ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS IS AN ADULT. LEAVING MISALIGNED TEETH UNTREATED MAY LEAD TO OTHER DENTAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS TOOTH DECAY, GUM DISEASE AND DIFFICULTY CHEWING. ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT CREATES A BETTER BITE, MAKING TEETH FIT BETTER AND DECREASING THE RISK OF FUTURE DENTAL PROBLEMS REGARDLESS OF AGE.
ADVANCES IN ORTHODONTICS HAVE ALSO MADE TREATMENT MORE COMFORTABLE AND LESS NOTICEABLE THAN EVER FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT. YOUR ORTHODONTIST CONSIDERS MANY VARIABLES WHEN DEVELOPING YOUR CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT PLAN, BUT AGE IS RARELY A DECIDING FACTOR.
