A Need for Orthodontic Treatment
In addition to harboring harmful bacteria, crooked teeth can also make it harder for your jaw joints and muscles to operate smoothly as you bite, chew, and speak. This leads to a host of subsequent dental health issues, including teeth grinding or TMJ disorder. While dental alignment is important for a patient’s oral health for these and various reasons, sometimes the biggest hindrance to treatment is the impact it will have on current smile appearance. Fortunately, lingual braces may offer a solution.
Where Durable Meets Discreet
Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces in that they utilize brackets and wires to guide your teeth into straighter positions. However, the brackets and wires are situated behind your teeth instead of on their front surfaces, which keeps your orthodontic treatment more discreet. Older patients who are concerned about how traditional braces may look often choose lingual braces for their cosmetically appealing appearance.
For children and adults who are looking for a more discreet option for orthodontic treatment,
without having to compromise the durability of traditional braces, lingual braces are a viable option. Lingual braces can help you correct your tooth alignment so you can enjoy a straighter, more attractive, and functional smile.
