Embracing a New Era
Are there clear signs that indicate a person should wear dental braces? How can one be certain? There are many reasons why a person may benefit from braces, beginning with the general importance of oral health and its impact on one’s overall physical well being.
If you feel embarrassed about the appearance of your smile, crooked teeth or misaligned teeth may lead to low self-confidence or loss of self-esteem. Cosmetic concerns as well as physical concerns may indicate that orthodontic treatment is recommended. Braces will result in a beautiful smile and a feeling of satisfaction when you see the condition of your teeth.
Regular dental visits are valuable for everyone, and your dentist will identify symptoms that may lead to orthodontic problems. If warning signs are present, the dentist will know when it is time to do minor adjustments or a full evaluation for braces. Avoiding treatment for orthodontic problems will eventually have a negative impact on your oral health.
Gerety Orthodontic Seminars and its experienced staff have information to help you determine whether or not you need orthodontic care. Here are some of the warning signs that clearly say that you should wear dental braces.
Overcrowding of the teeth is one obvious sign that calls for the need to consider wearing braces. If you have overcrowded teeth, this can pose both cosmetic and oral health problems. Overcrowded teeth allow food to be trapped in the teeth easily, making it difficult for you to remove the remnants with flossing and regular brushing. Trapped food between the teeth leads to bad breath, gingivitis or inflammation of the gums, tooth decay, and even periodontal diseases. The experts at Gerety Orthodontic Seminars recommend a non-extraction approach to orthodontics, where the lower or upper arch of the mouth is adjusted to accommodate the proper spacing of the teeth. Pulling teeth is unnecessary. Creating space for your natural teeth results in a healthier mouth and jaw.
Orthodontic treatment at the right time will help in straightening your teeth and aligning them to avoid future oral health problems. It will also reduce your chances of cavities and oral gum diseases.
Overbite happens when the upper front teeth project over the lower teeth. The severity of this condition can vary, but it becomes noticeable when the front set of teeth move further away from the bottom teeth. Overbite may lead to serious health issues and an increase in front teeth fracturing, It may also lead to increased risks of trauma on the front set of teeth, causing complications and the need for dental restoration work including fillings, cosmetic crowns, and veneers. A deep overbite may push the chin back toward the jaw joint, causing pain and the clenching or grinding of the teeth.
