Orthodontist Dr. Craig Starling discusses some tips for great oral health during orthodontic treatment.
If you're a parent, you may have taken your child to an orthodontist for braces or known another parent who got braces for their child. Have you ever thought making an appointment for yourself to see an orthodontist about improving your smile? You can have a straighter smile at any age, even in adulthood. Adult orthodontics makes getting alignment issues with your teeth or jaw fixed possible.
Timing is everything, especially when it comes to your child’s smile. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child gets their first orthodontic checkup by age 7, or earlier if you think your child has an orthodontic problem.
Straight teeth are important for self-esteem, of course, but they are also essential for good health. This is especially true for teenagers and young adults who are building healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Crooked teeth and malocclusion (bite alignment problems) not only impact a person's appearance, but they can also be harmful to a person's oral health and comfort. Misaligned teeth are more difficult to keep clean which increases a person's risk of tooth decay, cavities, and periodontal disease. In addition to causing temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), malocclusion can also result in irregular wear patterns that damage the surfaces of the teeth.
