You can benefit from orthodontics if you have tooth or jaw alignment problems. If left untreated, poor tooth or jaw alignment problems can lead to temporomandibular joint pain, excessive tooth wear, broken teeth, and difficulty keeping your teeth clean. Braces can correct these tooth alignment and jaw problems:

• Underbite or overbite
• Crossbite or open bite
• Gapped or overlapped teeth
• Poorly erupted or rotated teeth

If you have any of the issues listed above, braces are definitely right for you!

So, why should you choose braces? It turns out there are many ways you and your smile will benefit from braces. Consider these important benefits:

• A cosmetically beautiful smile because straight teeth are visually appealing
• Great oral health because straight teeth are easier to brush and floss
• More efficient chewing, which improves digestion and overall health
• Less stress and wear on your teeth and your jaws from chewing

• Conventional braces, using metal brackets and wires
