If you are an adult looking to improve your smile and health, then you have come to the right place! Due to advances in technology and ever changing attitudes, more adults are discovering the numerous benefits that come along with adult orthodontic treatment.  Orthodontic treatment can lead to an increase in self-esteem and improvement in overall health.  Tooth alignment can be improved if an individual’s gums and underlying jaw bones are healthy.

Some of the benefits of orthodontic treatment include:

A beautiful smile!

The most visible benefit of orthodontics is improved appearance and self-esteem! A wide, bright smile can be one of the best and most noticeable ways to improve your appearance. Orthodontics can help you look and feel better about yourself, which can have a significant impact on every aspect of your life.

Aids in preventing gum disease and preventing cavities

Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, making it easier for you to keep your teeth clean and cavity-free!  For the same reason, well-aligned teeth can reduce your chances of developing gum disease, which can lead to bone and tooth loss. 

When teeth are significantly crowded, one or more of them may be pushed off of the underlying bone, increasing their susceptibility to gum disease. Proper orthodontic treatment will not only align teeth, but will place them in a healthier and more stable position in the jaw bone.

Decrease in abnormal tooth wear

Ideally, upper and lower teeth should fit together and function harmoniously. When the bottom teeth are crowded, a few of the teeth tend to jut out in relation to the others.  These teeth can rub against the upper teeth, and over time can wear excessively or become traumatized. At Hayes & Hayes, In addition to straight teeth, we will give your smile the care it needs to develop a functional bite that stands the test of time!
