How Can Orthodontic Care Benefit Your Smile?
Alignment services have come a long way from one-size-fits-all metal braces! A variety of orthodontic treatments are now available, including Invisalign clear aligners, clear braces, and more, and they benefit patients by providing:
Trusted Technology: Progressive procedures like Invisalign® are effective and designed to gradually address a number of mild to moderate smile concerns, while traditional and clear braces continue to offer tried-and-true solutions for a wide variety of alignment, crowding, and bite issues.
Oral Hygiene Support: Orthodontic treatments can benefit your oral health in the short and long term by making it easier to clean your teeth, thus reducing your risk for cavities and gum disease.
Encourages Confidence: A straight smile is proven to boost self-esteem and overall confidence, and to positively impact your mental and emotional well-being.
Which Smile Issues Can Orthodontic Care Address?
- Misalignments: If you have crooked or crowded teeth, braces or aligners can move your teeth into their most ideal positions.
- Bite Issues: Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can be addressed to improve jaw alignment and avert future dental complications.
- Gaps In Teeth: Orthodontics can close unwanted gaps in teeth, creating a more uniform, symmetrical, and appealing smile.
- Issues With Chewing or Speaking: Orthodontic care can benefit your speech clarity and chewing function, thereby improving your general quality of life.
Which Age Ranges Can Benefit From Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic services are not just for kids and teens – patients of all ages can benefit from straighter teeth!
Children 7 and up: Abnormal bites often arise between the ages of 6 and 12. Early orthodontic evaluations and treatment can direct jaw growth and tooth placement, preventing future orthodontic challenges.
Adults and Senior Patients: A well-aligned smile protects and benefits patients of all ages. Many people looking to align their smiles choose Invisalign or clear braces to discreetly address orthodontic issues at this stage of life.
Orthodontic care offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond a beautiful smile. If you’re interested in correcting misalignments, bite issues, or more, we have an orthodontic solution to help. Contact us at East Lansing Modern Dental today!
