Why You Should Get Your Braces Early

Braces are extremely common in the US. When you see someone who has very straight teeth, chances are they had braces at one point in time.

Since braces are so common, it is obvious that crooked, misaligned, or gapped teeth are even more common. Currently there are about 4 million Americans that have braces. About 3 million of these people are less than 18 years old.

REASONS TO RECEIVE EARLY ORTHODONTICS

Receiving braces early can be very beneficial. Here are some reasons why you should consider early orthodontics:

Oral Health - If your teeth or your child’s teeth are crooked, gapped, or misaligned, also known as malocclusion, this can create oral health issues. Food particles can become stuck in hard-to-reach places, which can lead to cavities and other serious problems. When food and plaque buildup isn’t removed in a timely manner, it can lead to gum disease and the decaying of teeth. Tooth decay and gum disease can lead to dental procedures, like root canals, crowns, dental implants, and other expensive oral surgeries.

Self-Confidence - You understand the importance of confidence. If you are confident, then you are more apt to try new things and take on challenges, like leadership roles. Kids and teenagers are no different and should always feel confident as they grow up. Crooked teeth shouldn’t be what holds them back or creates a lack of self-esteem. Ensure your child is able to smile freely by giving them a beautiful smile with braces.
