People get braces for a variety of reasons. Some get them
for aesthetic concerns – they are simply unhappy with
their current smile and want to improve it. People who have
had braces look better, often have a higher self-esteem and
live happier, healthier lives.
Others seek orthodontic treatment because they have functional
problems. Crowded, crooked or too much space between your teeth
make them hard to clean and can contribute to tooth decay gum
disease and eventual tooth loss.
Braces are designed for both children and adults. Although
almost 20% of orthodontic patients are over 18 years old,
it is best to have orthodontic work done while you are young,
when your teeth and jaws move more easily.
What ever your reason, your smile will improve with professional
orthodontic treatment!
