Some patients come in knowing that they are good candidates for braces. However, there are many others that do not. With the less obvious signs that you may need braces, many people think that they are not a good candidate, but very well may be.
- Your jaw makes sounds. Often times when the jaw makes a clicking sound or shifts, especially when chewing, this can mean that there was a developmental issue with your teeth and jaw. By getting braces, you can correct these developmental issues and stop the shifting and sounds in your jaw line.
- You have a hard time chewing food. The most common reason for this issue is that the teeth in your mouth are misaligned. By correcting this issue with braces, you will not only have properly aligned teeth, but you will also ensure that you are properly and safely chewing your food.
- You have a bad bite. When your bite isn’t properly aligned, you may experience discomfort, difficulty chewing, or suffer from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Regardless of whether you have a crossbite, underbite, or overbite, it is important to correct the issues before you experience any other major dental health issues.
From crowded teeth, to TMD, to jaw clicking, there are a variety of reasons you may want to consult with an orthodontist. Contact Beauty Smile Orthodontics today for a brighter smile, for a brighter future.
