Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments
Professional modern orthodontic treatments offer a range of aesthetic and functional benefits. Not only does it change other people's impressions of you, but it also helps to enhance your self-image, which can benefit your overall health. Orthodontics offers the following key benefits:
Long-term Dental Health
Because adequately aligned teeth are easier to maintain, orthodontic care most often results in proper oral hygiene and a reduced risk of tooth decay.
Chewing and Digestion
Did you know that people with misaligned teeth chew less efficiently? In some severe cases, a bad bite can result in nutritional deficiencies. With the help of our Coquitlam Centre Dental Clinic orthodontics team, you can work to improve your body’s overall health.
Speech
For some patients, misaligned teeth result in speaking difficulties. That's just one more way our orthodontic care can improve lives.
Preventing Premature Wearing
Another fallback of a bad bite is that it can lead to the premature wearing down of back teeth. With our help, you can work to preserve and protect your smile.
Another mistake many patients make is waiting to seek orthodontic care until all permanent teeth erupt. Orthodontic screening and treatment can begin as early as 7 when enough permanent teeth have emerged to identify potential problems. The sooner you get your family started on orthodontic care, the sooner these problems can be identified and treated. When alignment problems are not treated until adulthood, the issues often become more complicated and require more extensive treatment.
