Why Do I Need Braces?

Beyond outward appearances, untreated dental problems can have a lasting impact on your teen’s oral and overall health. Some common dental problems include:

Crooked, crowded or blocked-out teeth
Missing or extra teeth
Spacing and gaps between the teeth
Overbites or underbites
Incorrect jaw position
Disorder of the jaw joint

Properly aligned teeth and jaws have many benefits, including:

Reduced risk of wear and tear, chipping and tooth trauma over time
Easier to clean, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay
Less prone to gingivitis and gum disease, which cause bone loss and tooth loss
Improved speech, as well as, proper chewing and digestion of food
