Christmas is right around the corner, and the year 2020 is just behind it! Why not start your New Year with a smile that won’t just get your year off to a good start, but will last you for a lifetime?
Orthodontic care isn’t just a matter of presenting a pleasing picture to the world. Straight, even, properly functioning teeth are an integral aspect of ensuring the overall wellness of your entire body.
Read on to learn more about the importance of Orthodontics for everyone in your family-not just the child or teen in your life.
Orthodontics for Kids and Teens
It is recommended that a child see and orthodontist by the age of 7. Even if your child’s teeth appear straight and even there may be issues that only a trained Orthodontist can see.
When you catch potential issues early on for your child, it is easier to use preventative measures to ensure that the problems don’t become more intensive (and expensive!) to fix later on in the future.
Teenagers do well with orthodontics because they’re still growing, but there is a better sense of what direction their teeth are taking.
Since the introduction of Invisalign® it is even easier to treat patients of all ages. Chunky metal braces are no longer necessary for treating uneven teeth.
Orthodontics for Adults
More adults are seeking out Orthodontics every year. People are living longer lives, making it even more important to maintain the health and longevity of your teeth as long as possible.
Adults can use orthodontics to improve the quality of their lives. Straight and even teeth will ensure that your bite is proper. When your bite is optimally positioned you can better chew the foods that you need to feel healthy and strong year after year.
It’s not just about healthy food though. Misaligned bites can lead to more serious issues, such as chipping, breaking, excessive plaque build-up, and even TMJ.
Any of these issues can lead to pain, which can lead to irritability and poor sleep. Those are not desirable traits when you’re a busy working adult-especially if you have kids!
