The Long-Term Benefits of Traditional Dental Braces
Traditional dental braces have a number of long-term benefits for both adults and adolescents, but children in particular benefit greatly from them due to the fact that their jaw is still growing and forming. One of the reasons you see so many adolescents wearing braces is the fact that they are able to correct problems such as over bites and under bites, and improve the overall structure of the face as the child grows into young adulthood. In the hands of a skilled medical professional, such as our dentist, traditional dental braces have the potential of improving the smile and overall appearance of the patient.
The benefits aren't all cosmetic however. Teeth and the jaw both function better when they are in their ideal alignment. By fixing issues such as crooked teeth, we are also fixing the cause of many future problems such as periodontal disease — which is caused by the fact that crooked teeth are harder to brush and floss properly. That is why you should make us your choice for traditional dental braces.
