Benefits Of Braces

There are many reasons why braces are beneficial to our patients. For starters, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean. This reduces the risk of cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues, not to mention the impact it makes on your overall health! Studies have shown straighter teeth have a positive effect on your general health and a decreased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Further, braces also work to correct bite issues such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, which can improve chewing and speaking abilities. Braces also help align your jaw properly, lessening the strain on those muscles, and alleviate issues like TMJ disorders. Finally, one of the most common reasons is a boost in self-confidence! It’s no secret that straighter teeth enhance a person’s appearance and improve their self-esteem.

Who Needs Braces?

At Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, our team will evaluate your unique situation to determine if you are a good candidate for this appliance. Some common reasons why someone might need them include:

Crowded Teeth: When there isn’t enough space in the jaw for teeth to properly align, they may become crowded or crooked. Braces can gradually move teeth into the correct position to alleviate crowding.
Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth can occur due to missing teeth, small teeth, or abnormal jaw growth. Braces can close these spaces by moving teeth closer together.
Malocclusions: This means the teeth do not come together properly. In other words, when you bite down, your top and bottom teeth do not fit together as they should.

Jaw Misalignment: In some cases, braces may be recommended to correct more severe jaw misalignments, such as overdeveloped or underdeveloped jaws.
Cosmetic Concerns: Even if dental issues don’t affect oral function, some patients may choose braces for cosmetic reasons, wanting to improve the appearance of their smile.

Types Of Braces

At Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to offer traditional metal or ceramic braces for our patients.

Traditional Braces

When you think of orthodontics, traditional metal braces may come to mind. But trust us, these tried-and-true appliances have come a long way! They remain a highly dependable and extremely effective treatment option on the market for a reason. This traditional metal option produces consistent results when our patients follow the instructions of our team.

Ceramic Braces

Our ceramic braces are a popular option as the brackets are clear and blend in with your natural teeth. This makes them a desirable choice for our patients looking for a more discreet treatment. This ceramic appliance does require more attention to oral hygiene, however, as the brackets are more brittle than their metal counterparts.
