4 Benefits of Straight Teeth for You [Updated 2020]


When people think of orthodontics, of course an enhanced smile is what most think of. Did you know orthodontic treatment does so much more than make our smiles straight? Orthodontic treatment helps correct abnormal bites such as an overbite or underbite. It helps us speak clearer and keeps our teeth cleaner.

At Coleman Orthodontics, we can successfully correct most problems regardless of the patient’s age. Here are 4 benefits of having straight teeth.

1. Healthy Gums: Our gums say so much about our oral health and how we take care of our teeth. It's no secret the dangers of gum disease and the negative effect it has on your overall health. Gum disease can cause tooth decay and loss and bad breath. With orthodontic treatment, your teeth are spaced out correctly, which helps you brush and floss in between your teeth, leading to healthier gums.

2. Improved Speech: Just like how we chew and bite, our teeth play a large role in the way we speak. Gapped or crowded teeth can affect your speaking patterns and with orthodontic treatment correcting bites and straightening teeth, you begin to speak more clearly.

3. Prevents Bone Erosion: Did you know your teeth and mouth affect your overall health? Bone loss can also be a problem due to misaligned teeth. This is caused by bacteria that begins eating away at bones. Braces helps realign the teeth to prevent this.

4. Self Esteem: When you can smile confidently, your self esteem and your personality shine through. With braces, you can be sure that your smile will be the best representation of who you are.

Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment

Coleman Orthodontics Dr. Coleman can successfully correct most orthodontic problems regardless of the patient’s age. But that does not mean that the orthodontic treatment starting age does not matter. As with any decisions regarding health care, it is best to act when time is on your side. Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that encompasses tooth straightening and facial changes.   As a child grows, both the upper jaw and lower jaw will grow in three dimensions. This growth will decide the final positioning of the mid and lower face. The major advantage of a two-phase treatment is to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and esthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child’s life. Two-phase orthodontics starts with interceptive treatment. The goal of interceptive treatment is to take advantage of growth potential and to catch an orthodontic problem before it gets out of hand.

Dentists and Orthodontists: What is the Difference?

Image
Coleman Orthodontics Dentists and Orthodontists are the same thing…right? While your dentist may offer orthodontic services, leading you to assume that he or she is an orthodontist, putting aligners or braces on teeth does not make your dentist an orthodontist. Dentistry is a broad medical specialty that deals with the teeth, gums, and jaws, while orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that focuses on correcting bites. All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are licensed orthodontists. Both dentists and orthodontists provide professional care to help their patients have good oral health. And both are dental school graduates. But dentists and orthodontists are very different when it comes to the alignment of your teeth. Dentists and orthodontists undertake the same training initially, but orthodontists complete further training after they graduate dental school to become qualified in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of orthodontic problems.
