A straight smile is more than just cosmetic—it’s a healthy smile. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, orthodontic treatment can dramatically improve your oral health and confidence. But what’s the right option for you? Let’s explore.
- Why Straighten Your Teeth?
Misaligned teeth can lead to:
Difficulty cleaning between teeth (causing cavities/gum disease)
Jaw pain or discomfort
Uneven wear on tooth enamel
Speech problems or low self-esteem
Straight teeth are easier to care for—and they look great, too!
- Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Braces:
Ideal for complex cases
Metal or ceramic brackets attached to teeth
Adjusted regularly to move teeth over time
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign):
Virtually invisible and removable
Comfortable, with no metal wires
Must be worn 20–22 hours/day for best results
- What’s the Right Age for Treatment?
Orthodontics is for all ages. Kids should get an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Teens and adults can benefit too—it’s never too late to improve your smile.
- How Long Does It Take?
Treatment typically lasts between 12 to 24 months, depending on the severity of misalignment and consistency in wearing aligners (if chosen).
