What are the benefits of braces and orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment has multiple benefits. Generally, new patients seek orthodontic treatment based on their age. The American Dental Association also explain more on the importance of braces here.
Traditionally, when you say "orthodontics," most people think of teenagers with metal braces. Dental care has changed since. Kids can come to the orthodontists as early as 7 for early detection and observation, all the way to adulthood. Metal braces are also just one solution of many - and technology has come a long way.
Braces for kids mostly focus on helping with managing spaces for baby teeth transitioning to adult teeth. Pediatric dentistry, in combination of orthodontics, provides kids with lots of treatment options to address dental or skeletal issues early on. Sometimes, this involves adjusting skeletal growth in the right direction with dental appliances and avoid future issues. Palatal spreaders, facemasks, partial braces, and clear aligners are common dental appliances we use for kids.
On the other hand, teenagers generally have all their adult teeth. To improve their dental health and boost their confidence, teens receive orthodontic treatment. Treatment options for teens range from Invisalign or clear aligners, lingual braces (invisible braces behind the teeth), to conventional metal or clear ceramic braces.
What is the average cost of braces?
Cost of orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the care. We offer in-house financing with no interest and offer flexible plans to maximize your benefits. Read more in depth about the cost of braces here.
