There are a lot of different reasons why people want to straighten their teeth. From enhancing the way you look to creating a healthier oral environment, there’s no right or wrong reason to talk to our Mill Park dental team about the orthodontic options available.
Here are just a few reasons why some of our patients decide to get braces or clear aligners:
You’ve Always Wanted Them
Were braces something you wanted as a child, teen or college student but never got the chance to have? As an adult, it’s not too late to take steps towards investing in your smile. You’re never too old for orthodontics.
The Crowding Is Hurting You … Literally
Jaw pain is an uncomfortable side effect of tooth misalignment. When your jaw works overtime to try to bite and chew effectively, it can lead to joint disorders of the TMJ, along with painful headaches. Addressing the way your teeth and jaws bite together can help your TMJ work more efficiently and lower your risk of unpleasant side effects.
You’re Having Problems With Your Teeth and Gums
Crooked, rotated and misaligned teeth tend to be the first ones to be impacted by issues like tooth decay and gum disease. That’s because they’re more challenging to clean and tend to harbour more bacteria throughout the day. By aligning your teeth with orthodontics, you can lower your risk of cavities and periodontal infection.
Braces and Orthodontic Alignment Options
Choose between traditional braces, tooth-coloured appliances or removable translucent orthodontic trays to straighten your teeth.
At Rivergum Smiles we work with each of our patients and their family to decide the best course of action to help them achieve a properly aligned smile.
