Braces Offer More Than Good Looks
When people think of braces, many picture neatly aligned teeth and a more confident smile. In reality, however, dentists often recommend braces to correct oral health and bite problems, which affect how well your teeth function over the long term.
Orthodontic treatment moves the teeth into suitable positions, helping you chew food more efficiently and lowering the risk of future tooth and gum problems.
Reasons Dentists Recommend Braces
1. Correcting crowded teeth, gaps and protruding teeth
Teeth that are not neatly aligned can be hard to clean, leading to a build-up of plaque and tartar and a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Braces help align the teeth neatly, make them easier to clean and support better oral health.
2. Adjusting the bite
Bite problems such as
- Upper teeth overlapping the lower teeth too much
- Protruding lower teeth
- Open bite
- Deep bite
- Crossbite
can affect chewing, speaking and the function of the jaw joint.
Braces help balance the bite and reduce the risk of long-term problems.
3. Reducing the risk of tooth wear and fractures
When the bite is abnormal, some teeth may bear more force than normal, making them more prone to wear, chipping or cracking.
Braces help distribute chewing force appropriately, easing the load on each tooth.
4. Making oral care easier
Well-aligned teeth help you to
- Brush thoroughly
- Floss more easily
- Reduce the build-up of bacteria
- Lower the chance of bad breath
It is therefore an investment in your long-term oral health.
5. Boosting confidence in your smile and personality
A smile is one of the first things many people notice. Having neatly aligned teeth boosts confidence in social situations, at work and in daily life.
Many people find that after finishing treatment they feel clearly more confident when smiling and talking.
Who Should Consult an Orthodontist?
You may be a good candidate for braces if you have any of the following problems.
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Protruding teeth
- Lower teeth overlapping the upper teeth
- Open bite
- Deep bite
- Difficulty chewing
- Jaw joint problems
- A wish to improve your smile and personality
An examination and treatment planning with an orthodontist will help you learn the most suitable treatment approach for you as an individual.
