Orthodontics

In addition to changing how you feel about yourself, straighter teeth can change how others will perceive you.
The second benefit you can enjoy with a straight smile is better oral health. When teeth are straight, it’s easier to brush and floss thoroughly, improving your overall oral health. Crooked teeth, by comparison, are more vulnerable to common oral health conditions, like tooth decay and gum disease. Braces can help provide a boost of confidence and morale for the patient, which may in turn allow for more fulfilling social, personal, and professional lives. Our Brian Dental Care Options By offering both traditional orthodontics and Invisalign clear orthodontics, our Brian Dental Care can make sure that patients of different ages and needs get the important care they need. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children should be evaluated for orthodontic problems no later than age seven, as early detection and action helps to avoid more difficult treatment later in life. One out of every five orthodontic patients today is an adult, so remember that it is never too late. Traditional orthodontics is often the best option for younger patients who still have a few baby teeth left to lose, or patients with impacted teeth. Adults and older teens, meanwhile, may be more suited for treatment with Invisalign. That’s due in part to the fact that Invisalign puts more of your own treatment in your hands. Instead of using brackets and wires, like traditional braces do, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. That makes treatment more convenient, but it also comes with an element of responsibility that patients with traditional orthodontics don’t have to consider.
