The benefits of orthodontic treatment

There is a misconception that braces are only available for children. The truth is that more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment than ever before!

It is never too late to get that winning smile. Teeth can be moved successfully provided they and the gums and supporting structures are healthy.

We have compiled a list of the benefits of orthodontic treatment as documented in scientific studies and also from personal experience.

At No1 The Orthodontic Specialists, we create beautiful smiles to suit your face. Your treatment will be one of the most valuable investments you will make to improve your image.

 Physiological benefits

• Straight teeth are easier to clean, as there are fewer plaque and food traps. They are less prone to decay and gum disease
• Reduce the risk of injury to protruding teeth
• A good bite should result in less strain on the jaw joints and muscles
• Spaces can be closed if teeth are small or missing to obviate the need for dentures/bridges or implants
• To help stop digit sucking habits that harm the bite
• To prepare teeth and bite for other dental treatment

Children only

• To modify growth and help improve the facial profile
• To guide teeth that are erupting out of position or stuck in the bone
