What can braces do for you?
The Benefit of Braces
Straight teeth are so much more than a beautiful smile. At Miner Orthodontics we focus on giving you a pleasing smile as well as a healthier bite which will improve your self confidence and ability to clean your teeth. With those benefits you should be able to maintain your healthy smile for a lifetime.
Self-Confidence
For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. If you are a child, an improved smile can mean freedom from self-consciousness. If you are an adult, it can lead to a better social and professional life. A beautiful healthy smile translates into happiness, invites communication and opens the doors to success and fulfillment.
Easier Ability to Clean Your Teeth
Since crooked teeth are harder to clean and maintain, people with crowding tend to have
more tooth decay and gum problems than people who have had orthodontic treatment. Cavities
and worsening gum disease can eventually lead to tooth loss. Orthodontic treatment can
be less costly than the additional care required treating dental problems arising as
a result of orthodontic problems. As a bonus, your visits for dental hygiene will be
easier when you teeth are straight.
Improved Bite & Less Tooth Wear
With an improved contact of your teeth after orthodontics, you will be able to chew your food easier. Chewing is the important first step in digestion. But other orthodontic problems can contribute to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces resulting in inefficient chewing function. Abnormal forces can also result in excessive stress on the gums and the bone that supports the teeth and even lead to misalignment of the jaw joints.
