What Kind of Smile Do You Want?

Some individuals just don't smile that much. There may be other reasons - maybe the person is shy. But maybe their teeth need a make-over. Remember, crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. 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.

Your smile is one of the first things individuals notice, so what kind of smile do you want? The benefits of having healthy teeth and proper jaw alignment speaks volumes. For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. After your braces come off, you'll feel more self-confident.

You Can't Go Wrong

You can't go wrong by seeking early orthodontic treatment because quite simply, the sooner you come to visit the better you'll be. In fact, you'll be happy to know that orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over twenty-one.

Studies show that it's best for the orthodontist to see children by age 7 to advise if orthodontic treatment is required and the best time for that patient to be treated. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by that time, and cross-bites, crowding and other problems can be evaluated.

When treatment is begun early, the orthodontist can guide the growth of the jaw and guide incoming permanent teeth. Early treatment can also regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches, gain space for permanent teeth, avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions, reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth, correct thumb-sucking, and eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems. In other words, early treatment can simplify later treatment. But no matter how old you are, coming in for an initial visit is better than not coming in at all.
