Lifelong Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
What comes to mind when you think about orthodontics? Probably straighter, more attractive teeth. That’s what orthodontics is known for. In the process, you also get healthier teeth, a better self-image, and a big boost of confidence and self-esteem to face life’s challenges socially and professionally. These and other benefits make orthodontics from Mid-Valley Dental Care in Northridge, California, a worthwhile investment.
What Orthodontics Can Do For You
Orthodontic issues can make it harder for you to eat, speak, smile, or keep your teeth clean, increasing your risk of cavities and dental disease. Crooked, overcrowded, or misaligned teeth can’t function properly as a team due to clashing with one another when you chew, causing undue wear and tear on your teeth.
Orthodontic treatment can change the way your teeth look, function, and feel to:
- Makes it easier to eat and speak
- Facilitate brushing and flossing to keep your mouth fresh and clean
- Minimize problems with decay, oral infections, and dental disease
- Improve your smile’s aesthetic appeal
- Preserves the health and beauty of your teeth
At Mid-Valley Dental Care, Drs. Terence Lau, Casey Lau, and Kayla Lau offer the options of traditional braces or clear aligners for straightening your teeth. After evaluating your teeth and assessing the problems that need to be fixed, we’ll help you choose the orthodontic treatment best suited to your dental needs.
Lifelong Benefits of Orthodontics
Orthodontics gives you so much more than a beautiful smile, although that’s a significant perk of your treatment. You can also look forward to healthier teeth functioning well as a team. Orthodontics can correct problems with tooth and jaw alignment to improve your bite, maintain facial support and avoid issues with TMJ disorders.
Straightening your teeth makes it easier to chew, so you can eat a balanced diet of nutritious foods to boost your general health. It also reduces your risk of major dental problems that can lead to premature tooth loss and costly dental bills.
