Many people often wonder if braces are really necessary, especially during the teenage years. However, many do not understand the variety of benefits that wearing braces can offer and what they can do specifically for you.
Not only are braces essential for healthy teeth and proper jaw alignment, but they are also critical for improving oral function. Braces may not be necessary for everyone. This is why it is important that you discuss any concerns with an experienced orthodontist before making any decisions.
Here are some of the benefits that wearing braces can offer you:
- A beautiful smile- With an attractive smile comes a higher self-confidence for patients of any age.
- Straighter teeth- Straight teeth are essential for properly biting, chewing, and even speaking.
- Less prone to injury- Having straight teeth can also prevent injury or fractures, as opposed to teeth that protrude.
- Provide more proportion- With proper treatment, you can bring the teeth and lips into proportion with the jaw and face, saving you from requiring restorative dental care down the road.
- Improved oral hygiene- They are also easier to properly care for when brushing and flossing, decreasing your chances of cavities, tooth decay, and periodontal diseases.
- Prevents bite issues- When teeth are misaligned, this can lead to potential issues such as grinding, and temporomandibular joint, which is more commonly know as TMJ.
