Orthodontic Benefits

Almost every person can benefit from orthodontic care, but there are some people who are in more urgent need than others. Most people get orthodontic treatment because they are hoping for an improved appearance to their smile. Along with cosmetic benefits, orthodontic care makes chewing function and overall oral health better too. Orthodontic treatment can correct tooth problems related to an overbite, underbite, overlapping, or otherwise misaligned teeth. Here are other advantages of receiving North Carolina orthodontics: 

• Straighten teeth to improve speech and chewing function
• When teeth are in alignment they are easier to clean
• An aligned bite can decrease your risk of gum disease, cavities, and other oral health problems
• Achieve and maintain a confident smile 

Types Of Treatment

There are several treatments that are offered by orthodontics. The most common are braces, clear aligners, retainers, and palate expanders. Braces work by gradually shifting teeth into desired alignment overtime through brackets, wires, and bands. Depending on your needs, you may prefer clear (ceramic) braces or traditional metal braces. Clear aligners tend to be more popular compared to traditional braces. Instead of using brackets and wires on the teeth, clear aligners  entail the use of custom-made trays. Each set gets worn for a week or two before switching out for another in the series. The clear aligners gently shift teeth into proper positioning. After using braces or clear aligners, a retainer will need to be worn. This is a custom appliance that keeps teeth from drifting out of alignment. Your orthodontist can let you know how often it needs to be worn to maintain your treatment results. Palate expanders are used to widen the upper jaw and create space without needing tooth extractions or other related procedures.
