Braces

No matter what your age, you don’t have to settle when it comes to your teeth. Whether you need braces to fix a misaligned bite or you want to feel more confident about smiling, braces can drastically increase your quality of life. 

Braces Are for Everyone 

 

  • Early Childhood: Did you know that children as young as seven or eight may be good candidates for braces? Orthodontic treatment at an early age prevents more serious, costly treatments later and can shorten the time braces are worn in the teen years. Phase I treatment is for children whose oral issues are already severe or whose conditions may worsen if not treated early.
  • Pre-teens and teens: If early orthodontic treatment isn’t warranted, the ages between 11 and 16 are the perfect window to begin braces. Kids still have malleable jaws at this age, making treatment for bite or jaw misalignment easier. 
  • Adults: Braces aren’t just for kids. If you’re unhappy with a crooked smile, protruding teeth, or another issue, we are happy to help at Severs Orthodontics.

Problems Braces Can Fix

  • Protruding teeth that may become chipped
  • Overcrowded teeth that could lead to crooked teeth or decay
  • Malocclusions, such crossbite, overbite, and underbite
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking

Types of Braces 

The days of having only one choice for orthodontic care are over. Now, there are treatments to suit every age, lifestyle, and problem. Here’s a look at treatments for common problems:

  • Metal braces are made of stainless steel and are most common among patients. Metal braces are much smaller than they used to be and are more efficient now than ever.
  • Clear aligners are popular with both teens and adults. The removable plastic trays allow you to eat without worry and keep your dental hygiene spotless.

Braces Restore Confidence 

There’s no denying the power of having confidence in your appearance. When you’re confident about your teeth, you’re more likely to smile, laugh, and speak with ease. Braces can boost the self-confidence of children and adults alike!
