IN THIS SECTION: People get braces for a variety of reasons. Some get them for aesthetic concerns – they are simply unhappy with their current smile and want to improve it. People who have had braces look better and often have a higher self-esteem. They can live happier, healthier lives. Others seek orthodontic treatment because they have functional problems. Crowded, crooked, or excessive space between your teeth make them hard to clean and can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, and eventual tooth loss. Braces are designed for both children and adults. Over 40% of the patients in Dr. Brown’s practice are over 18 years of age. It is usually best to have orthodontic work done while you are young because your teeth and jaws move more easily. However, teeth can be moved at any age as long as the teeth and their supporting tissues are healthy.
Whatever your reason, your smile will improve with professional orthodontic treatment!
