What Does Orthodontic Treatment Mean for Your Smile?

Posted .

When it comes to orthodontic treatment, it has traditionally been recommended between the ages of 11-15 to correct smile issues. But, it is not always possible to receive the orthodontic treatment needed during those early years, and more and more adults are now pursuing straightened smiles.

Do you have issues with overcrowding, misalignment, crooked teeth, or excessive spaces in between the teeth? If so, orthodontic treatment can not only fix these issues but it can create a healthier smile in the process. A healthier smile results with straightened teeth as it is easier to clean the teeth, removing unwanted dental plaque from between the teeth and along the gumline. The result is a lower risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Irregularities in the jaw can benefit from orthodontic treatment as well. When the teeth are aligned correctly, the bite is able to function properly and the jaw joints, in addition to the gums, benefit when the bite pressure is evenly spread out.

Our New Age Dental dental team uses both Invisalign and braces to align your smile in Riverside, California. With Invisalign®, a series of customized, computer-generated plastic aligners are used to gradually align the teeth. With braces, metal brackets, wires, and bands are used to gently straighten teeth.
