Our orthodontists work with each patient to find the right braces to fit their needs, lifestyle, and more. If you are looking to learn more about the benefits of braces, you’ve come to the right place.
What are the signs that braces could help me?
While one look in the mirror can certainly tell you whether or not braces could improve the alignment of your smile, sometimes it isn’t always that easy to tell. You could benefit from getting orthodontics from our Novi, MI, dental team if:
- Your child’s teeth fell out prematurely
- You have an overbite or underbite
- You have crooked or twisted teeth
- You have protruding teeth
- You have gaps between teeth
While most children will benefit from visiting the orthodontist for an evaluation by the age of 7, if you haven’t done this that doesn’t mean it’s too late. Here at Briar Pointe Dentistry, we’ve helped teens and adults finally get straighter smiles.
What are the benefits of braces?
Traditional braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners, all offer a lot of the same awesome benefits. Here are some of the benefits of getting braces:
- A more attractive and confident smile
- A boost to your self-confidence
- Teeth that are easier to brush, floss, and keep clean
- You’re less likely to deal with cavities and gum disease since teeth are easier to care for
- Straighter teeth won’t experience excessive wear and tear like a crooked smile will, so you’ll also protect your teeth from wear and damage over the years
- Speaking and talking may be improved (this is often the case in children and teens who may have lisps or other speech impediments due to crooked teeth)
- It’s easier to chew food properly, which can aid in better digestion
