Can Orthodontic Treatment Improve Your Future?

Last Updated on August 23, 2018 by Guest Post

A healthy mouth and teeth are incredibly important to both our physical health and mental well-being. Basic dental care and appointments are essential, but sometimes not enough. Furthermore, orthodontics is the practice of treating irregularities of the teeth which impact the mouth or jaw.

Problems Requiring Orthodontic Care

firstly, a trip to the orthodontist can be life changing. If you have any of the conditions below schedule an appointment as soon as possible:

• Incorrect bite – An improper bite could be an underbite, overbite, or cross bite
• Excessive spacing – If you have irregular spacing between any of your teeth this could be impacting your bite
• Crowding – Crowding refers to teeth which are crooked or overlapping

Why Orthodontic Care is Necessary

Health – In fact, misaligned teeth can be a hazard to your physical health. An orthodontic visit can help alleviate the following problems:

• Oral health
• Bone loss
• Restore missing teeth
• Malfunctioning teeth
• Lack of Self-confidence (An attractive smile and healthy mouth are also an important part of self-esteem.)

Orthodontic Services

By and large, there are a couple of viable orthodontic treatments that will positively impact your life.

Braces – Gone are the days when having braces means you smile everyone sees a mouthful of metal. Lingual braces are mostly invisible and installed behind your teeth. They are ultimately worn for 12 -24 weeks.

Invisalign – Invisalign is a state of the art procedure which utilizes 3D computer graphics. As a matter of fact, it involves custom made comfortable aligners which are placed strategically to adjust your teeth and mouth. Depending on the individual needs you may have anywhere from 12-48 aligners which you wear for up to two weeks each. Finally, you should remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing.

Lingual braces and Invisalign services are available for teenagers and adults. Don’t spend another day with a malfunctioning and uncomfortable mouth so check out our website here and contact us for a consultation with an orthodontist today.
