Braces – Just for Cosmetics or Necessary for Dental Health?

Austin, TX –Orthodontic treatment improves more than just smiles – the benefits of orthodontic treatment go far beyond aesthetics. Braces not only create beautiful smiles, they also improve overall dental health. Dr. Silvana Gonzalez and her team at Pure Smiles Orthodontics help patients achieve beautiful smiles every day, with a focus on improving dental health!

So, are braces purely cosmetic or are they necessary? The answer is a perfect mix of both. The end result of your time in braces should be a gorgeous new smile that can improve your confidence. But the dental health advantages can also greatly improve your quality of life and set you up for a lifetime of good oral health. Straighter teeth aren’t just more attractive, they also function better, too.

Here are some important points to consider:

• Braces can improve your bite! A poorly aligned bite can negatively affect how a person speaks,chews, and can literally cause jaw or muscle pain and headaches. Aligning the bite through braces can ensure the jaw is able to work properly.
• Braces prevent future oral health issues! Teeth that are misaligned and crowded can cause dental health issues, such as cavities, decay, and gum disease. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, leading to a future of great oral health.
• Braces can save you money in the future! When your teeth are misaligned, your bite uses an uneven amount of pressure. This can lead to teeth chipping, cracking, or breaking, making for costly dental repairs in the future.
• Braces can improve your confidence! Orthodontic treatment creates a properly functioning, more beautiful smile that can help you greet the world with confidence.
