Description
You must have seen wires in the mouths of many people, with brackets on every tooth. These wires, or dental braces as they are technically called, are meant to straighten or align teeth for a uniform bite. Purposes of dental braces include jaw correction, correction of irregular teeth positions, improvement in smile and chewing aesthetics. The dentist at Spadent will be the best person to guide you on treatment options. Many dental issues are faced when primary teeth are replaced by adult teeth to aid speech, digestion and appearance. Issues at this stage which can be corrected by teeth braces and aligners include: Crooked teeth, which may lead to periodontal issues like bleeding gums, tooth mobility and halitosis (bad breath) Improper bite, which affects the ability to chew Incorrect spacing between teeth, which may result in speech problems Crowded teeth may result in poor hygiene, also resulting in cavities Proclined teeth can lead to a more convex profile Is there a best time to get teeth braces and aligners? Each individual's requirement differs from the other. It is true that orthodontic treatment may begin as early as the age of 7 years. Similarly, no upper age limit exists for braces. If you possess appropriate oral health, the dentist at Spadent may advise you to wear braces at any age.
