Vancouver orthodontics care can help you get the dazzling smile you always wanted.
Benefits of Teeth Straightening
Straighter teeth offer a number of benefits. First of all, when teeth are straight, they are easier to clean, which means fewer dental problems. Straight teeth are more stable, as well, so they are less prone to injury. Straight teeth allow you to speak more clearly and chew more efficiently, for better digestion. You will enjoy less wear and tear on teeth and greater self-confidence.
How Is Teeth Straightening Done?
A number of orthodontic methods are available for patients. Invisible, plastic braces are a good choice for people who don’t like the look of traditional braces. A series of braces are worn for a period of time during which your teeth gradually move into a better alignment. Traditional metal braces use elastic bands, brackets and wires to provide pressure over time to bring the teeth into straighter alignment. With either type, your dental professional will check your progress to ensure the braces are performing as needed. At the end of treatment, you will be fitted with a retainer to wear at night to stabilize the teeth in their improved alignment.
Although teeth straightening is generally considered for children, people of all ages can benefit from the procedure. If you are interested in Vancouver Orthodontics and straightening teeth, contact Today’s Dentistry, for an appointment to learn how orthodontics can help give you a beautiful smile.
