What are the Benefits of Having Braces?

braces

Chances are you have come across someone who uses braces. While you may have made fun of kids who used braces back in your schooldays, it is clear they play an important role in the dental health of many people. Currently, about a quarter of the Americans who use braces for teeth are adults.

Straightening Teeth

The number one use of braces is to straighten teeth. If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, you may suffer from dental problems as well as esteem issues. Straightening your teeth can help make you feel much better about yourself. There will be no need to avoid social interactions because you’re self-conscious about your teeth. Treatment can also help space out the teeth evenly, by closing the gaps that develop between them.

Improving Your Smile

If you don’t feel good about your teeth, smiling can be quite an effort. By improving your smile, you can afford to relax more in social situations. Braces can help improve the appearance of your teeth, the result being a beautiful smile that you won’t hesitate to radiate. This boosts your self-esteem, and you’ll be able to express yourself without feeling shy.

If you have a kid or teenager with teeth that look a bit crooked, it is advisable to get them to undergo orthodontic treatment as soon as possible. Doing so helps them build confidence from an early age. For adults, you may need some corrective procedures in addition to the braces, as the bone in your jaws has stopped growing. You may also need to wear the devices for longer than kids, but it will certainly be worth it in the end.

Dental Health

Besides straightening teeth, having braces also contributes to better dental health. At Ragan Orthodontics, we want to help make your smile brighter. We have multiple offices located in Dallas, and our orthodontist is at the ready to help you.
