Adolescent braces

Orthodontics is not simply about a beautiful smile and improved self confidence. Orthodontic care contributes to better overall dental health. When teeth are placed in the correct alignment, they are easier to clean which makes them more resistant to decay and gum disease. Correct alignment can also prevent uneven wear on teeth, which often contributes to jaw discomfort and fractured teeth. In essence, orthodontics lays the foundation for better oral health.

For the majority of young patients, it is best to delay treatment until most of their permanent teeth have erupted. That usually occurs between the ages of 11 or 12.
