How Braces Can Save Your Kid’s Smile

About 75 percent of Americans who wear braces are adolescents and teenagers. In other words, people like to have their teeth straightened early in life. At our dental clinic, we provide braces of every type. Signature Smiles provides this young group of patients with their choice of traditional metal braces (3M braces), ceramic braces (clear braces), and Invisalign Teen.

WHY GET BRACES EARLY?

There are various reasons why dental patients should get their braces at an early age. Here are just a few:

• CONFIDENCE – A person’s smile can really affect confidence levels. Studies have been conducted that prove severely crooked or gapped teeth can impact a person’s desire to compete in school or at work, or even indulge in societal affairs. Straight teeth and a beautiful smile can improve a person’s self-esteem.
• HEALTH – With straight teeth, there is less of a chance for food particles to become stuck in hard to reach places. Eliminating gaps or crevices helps ensure plaque is thoroughly removed, which keeps cavities from forming.
• FINANCES – With healthier teeth, oral issues, like cavities and gum disease (periodontal disease), are less likely. This will help save a lot of time and money in the long run on dental procedures, like root canals, dental crowns, tooth extractions, and dental implants.

Braces help kids and teens from dealing with harmful dental problems in the future. Most braces treatments take approximately 12 to 24 months to complete. Compared to their entire life, this timespan is extremely minimal.
