What Are Braces?
Braces are orthodontic appliances that are used to straighten teeth, improve oral function and enhance overall oral health. Braces can be beneficial for both children and adults, as they can address a variety of dental and orthodontic issues, including malocclusions (misaligned teeth), overcrowding, gaps between teeth and bite problems.
Braces for Children & Teens
For children, braces can help to guide the growth of the jaw and teeth, which can prevent more serious orthodontic issues from developing later in life. By correcting these issues early on, more intensive care can be prevented.
Braces for Adults
Adults can also benefit from braces, as they can improve the appearance of their smile and correct dental problems that may have been neglected in the past. Braces can also help to alleviate TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, which cause muscle and jaw discomfort. By properly aligning the teeth and jaw, braces can reduce stress on the TMJ and improve overall oral function.
While the treatment process may take some time and require regular maintenance, the long-term benefits of braces can lead to improved oral health, better self-esteem and a more confident smile.
Clear Aligners
If you are looking for a more discreet option than traditional braces, clear aligners could be the orthodontic treatment for you! Clear aligners are made from smooth, thin plastic using advanced computer technology, ensuring that they fit perfectly. As you switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks your teeth will be gently guided into their proper positions to give you a straighter, healthier and more beautiful smile.
Clear aligners offer many benefits. They are virtually invisible once placed in your mouth, giving you a nearly unnoticeably treatment. Additionally they are very comfortable, as they are made from smooth plastic and designed specifically for your mouth. These aligners are also removable, which allows you to brush and floss with ease as well as enjoy all your favorite foods throughout your treatment.
