BRACES

Braces are used by the Orthodontics to align and straighten your teeth properly. Everyone can get braces for any reason such as crooked teeth, overbite, underbite etc. At the first visit, the orthodontist will thoroughly examine your child’s teeth, mouth, and jaw. He or she may ask your child to bite the teeth together and may also ask questions about whether your child has problems chewing or swallowing, or has ever had clicking or popping of the jaw. Because it’s so easy for food to get stuck in wired braces, kids who wear them need to work extra hard to keep their teeth clean. Brushing after meals is essential, as is daily flossing.

The orthodontist can give your child a special flosser to use in and around braces. Regular dental cleanings and checkups to look for cavities are also a must. There’s no age of having braces. Anyone can get braces treatment at any age. As you can see, Orthodontic treatment can help you with a wide range of health problems.
