Beyond making your smile more attractive, there are a number of benefits to braces you may not have considered. These include:

• Reliable and effective treatment. Orthodontic braces are essentially what established modern orthodontics. Braces are an established and reliable method to achieve consistently great results, and that’s something you can smile about!
• Brackets are less obvious. Today’s braces have smaller brackets, which make them less obvious compared to those in the not-so-distant past.
• Improved oral health. Helping you achieve a great-looking smile is just one of part of the treatment equation. After your treatment, you will be able to brush and floss your teeth easier, reducing your risk of cavities and other oral health disease. When your teeth are aligned there will be improved pressure distribution along the biting surfaces of the teeth, reducing wear and prolonging the life of your teeth.
• Clearer speech. If you have a narrowed palate or crooked teeth, you may be amazed to find how much easier it is to speak clearly following orthodontic treatments.
• Improved digestion. Did you know the act of chewing foods into smaller pieces is essential to your digestion? By correcting your bite, we can make it easier to chew foods efficiently, thus helping improve your digestion. You might also discover that you feel fuller faster, which can help you maintain a healthy weight.

It’s also worth mentioning that having a straight, attractive smile can give you an incredible boost in self-confidence. It’s just one more reason you might consider orthodontic treatments!
