The Benefits of Braces

Whether it is for health reasons or a confident beautiful smile, there are many benefits to a straight smile. We have been in the Syracuse community for many years and our goal at Coleman Orthodontics is to provide you with a smile that is confident and healthy. Whether its through Invisalign, traditional braces, or simply wearing your retainers after orthodontic treatment...orthodontics goes beyond just a beautiful smile.

Benefits of Having Straight Teeth

1. Healthy Gums: 
Healthy gums are a foundation to a healthy smile internally. The health of your mouth and your body are all connected and your gums are an essential foundation to your overall health. When your teeth are spaced out or crowded, it is possible for them to become inflamed, which can be a sign of periodontal disease.

2. Tooth Wear:
We use our teeth everyday and it is normal for our enamel to wear out as we grow older. However, crowded teeth can cause your teeth to pop out in abnormal places, which run against teeth. Over time this can cause unnecessary wear to your tooth enamel.

3. Easier to Clean:
A great benefit of straight teeth is the ease of keeping your teeth clean, which means a healthier smile. A crowded set of teeth are difficult to floss, which can lead to plaque, tooth decay and periodontal disease.

If you're interested in learning more about how we can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile through orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign and braces, give us a call at 801-614-9090.

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.

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. Such treatment usually occurs be...
