Recently, more adults are using orthodontics for braces. Ortho patients come from all walks of life and can be seen in offices across America! One major reason why so many people choose this treatment over other types is that they have confidence when wearing an appliance because it's widely accepted among youth as well as ideal alignment being achieved before adulthood which means you will not need any retainer wear later on down the road if your teen chooses to get their teeth fixed now instead or later after high school graduation

If someone wants straightening treatments early enough then there isn't anything wrong with giving them some brass rings too.

Braces not only give you a beautiful smile, but they can improve your health in so many ways.

What are some of these benefits?:

• Reduced Tooth Decay – Misaligned teeth can make maintaining adequate oral hygiene incredibly difficult. Hard-to-reach spaces can become breeding grounds for the oral bacteria that cause tooth decay.
• Reduced Wear and Tear – Chewing capability is impacted by malocclusion. Improper alignment means that as food is chewed, force is not evenly distributed. This can lead to flattened teeth and lopsided wear and tear on dental enamel.
• Relief of Jaw Pain – Not only does a comfortable bite distribute pressure evenly across teeth, it can also create smooth, pain-free dental function. Patients with malocclusion experience jaw joint disorders (TMJ dysfunction) that create clicking, popping, and discomfort when opening and closing the mouth.

What Types of Misalignment Require Braces?

Orthodontic braces can help to improve teeth and jaw alignment issues. If you're experiencing any of the following common types:

• Overbite - An overbite occurs when the maxilla (upper jaw) protrudes further than the mandible (lower jaw). This condition can give the chin a sunken appearance and make the smile look toothier than normal.
• Underbite – An underbite occurs when the mandible protrudes further than the maxilla. This condition may be the result of growth irregularities and can make the chin look overly large.
• Overcrowding – Overcrowding occurs when there is insufficient room for the adult teeth to erupt and align. In some cases, a tooth or several teeth may need to be extracted to provide room on the arch for proper alignment.
