“Wearing braces makes happy faces.”
Regular visits to your dentist – for cleaning, checkups, or help with dental complications such as cavities and gum disease – are commonplace. Everybody knows to schedule them… and keep them. However, not all dental issues were created equal and certain irregularities may require the specialized knowledge and expertise of an orthodontist.
At its simplest, orthodontics is the specialized field within dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, positioning, and correction of mispositioned or misaligned teeth. And while you may think this is just an issue of vanity, it is far more than just wanting a straight-toothed smile for Instagram.
Oral health is absolutely a window into your overall health. A good bite makes it easier for you to bite, chew and speak. Teeth that are misaligned are harder to clean and can cause abnormal wearing of tooth enamel which can lead to extensive and expensive dental procedures. In other words, orthodontic treatment helps ensure proper function of teeth, in so doing creating smiles that are more than just beautiful – they are healthy.
