Dental Braces Treatment for Health and Smile Makeover

Many times we see that children have forwardly placed teeth, irregular teeth, overlapping

teeth or gaps in the front teeth. While these do adversely affect the beauty of the smile

and facial esthetics, but many people do not know that these irregularities have many

harmful effects on the gum health and bone support of the tooth itself as well as adjacent

teeth.

There are so many types of dental irregularities that children present.

Having irregular teeth affect the self image and confidence of the patient. The child

thinks that he is flawed in some manner which is beyond his control. And may start to

loose his self confidence. Irregular teeth have other harmful affects apart from the

psychological and esthetic effects. These are:

1. Speech may be affected by wrong position of teeth.

2. Ineffective brushing leads to dental decay, swollen gums and bone loss.

3. Reverse bite of teeth may cause early loosening of teeth and consequent falling

off.

4. Increased overlapping of teeth may cause trauma to opposing gums and bleeding.

5. Backward position of teeth may cause loosening of teeth.

6. Forward position of teeth may obstruct lip closure leading to mouth breathing.

7. Tooth position may cause snoring and airway blockage due faulty jaw position.

The Solution:

Orthodontic treatment (Dental braces treatment)

Nowadays with advanced technology, orthodontic or dental braces treatment is so much

more comfortable, less painful and faster than before. The only and the best way to
