Dental alignment and bite correction are important for:
- peridontal (gum) health by allowing proper cleaning and “gearing” of teeth
- function by allowing the teeth to meet properly which in turn helps to protect the teeth and joints of the jaw (T.M.J.) from damage
- esthetics to give a pleasing smile
- replacement of missing teeth. When teeth are lost or are missing, the remaining teeth tend to shift. To allow your dentist to better restore your mouth to proper health for the long term, orthodontic alignment may be indicated prior to commencing the restoration.
Any person young or old can benefit from Orthodontic care. See your certified orthodontist to discover what may be done.
