Braces
As technology advances, so does the evolution of the braces appliance system, with notable enhancements in aesthetics, comfort, and ease of maintenance.
The Advantage of Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Though we can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at any early age ensures the greatest result possible. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7.
Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary, we can carefully monitor growth and development and begin treatment when it is ideal.
Some of the most direct results of interceptive treatment are:
- Creating room for crowded, erupting teeth
- Creating facial symmetry by influencing jaw growth
- Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
- Preserving space for unerupted teeth
- Reducing the need for tooth removal
- Reducing treatment time with braces
- Reducing the need for jaw surgery later by correcting Anterior & Posterior crossbites
Customized Treatment for Lasting Confidence
If your child is already in his preteen or teen years, all is not lost! There are still plenty of treatment options available to give you the smile you are hoping for. We will do a comprehensive evaluation to determine which type of appliance(s) and/or braces will do the best job for your specific needs and concerns.
We will tailor your treatment plan to give you the best possible result, including not only straight teeth, but the most functional bite and jaw alignment, and a beautiful profile and smile line. We want to make sure that you are 100% satisfied with the results of your orthodontic treatment.
It’s Never Too Late to Improve Your Greatest Asset—Your Smile!
Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Currently, about twenty percent of orthodontic patients are adults. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
