Top Reasons for Orthodontics

Are you considering orthodontics for yourself or your child?  It’s a big decision to seek orthodontic treatment.  Here are some of the top reasons for children, teens, and adults to get braces or Invisalign.

Top reasons children should consider getting orthodontic treatment:

  • Early treatment allows the correction and guides the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight.
  • Orthodontics can regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches.
  • Orthodontics can create more space for crowded teeth.
  • If treated early, you might be able to avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life.
  • Orthodontic treatment can also correct tooth and jaw problems due to thumb sucking.
  • Orthodontic treatment can also help improve minor speech problems.

Top reasons teens and adults should consider getting orthodontic treatment:

  • Teeth that are straight are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and this may help prevent other health problems.
  • Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!
  • Not receiving orthodontic treatment when it's needed can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end.
