People often ask us “Why do I need braces?” or “What are the benefits that make the cost and time worthwhile?”
We have prepared the following list of benefits that patients derive from orthodontic treatment, as documented in scientific studies and from our personal experiences.
Our smiles are a big part of our identity and how we are perceived by our peers. Improving your smile is one of the most valuable investments you can make to improve your overall appearance and self image.
Physiological Benefits – A healthy mouth for life
Orthodontically corrected teeth are less prone to chipping and wear
Well aligned teeth are easier to clean, and less likely to decay
Ideally positioned teeth lessen the chance of gingivitis, recession, and gum disease
A good bite results in less strain on jaw muscles/joints
