Orthodontic treatment is about more than just aesthetics; straighter teeth contribute significantly to your overall dental health and well-being. Benefits include:
- Easier Cleaning: Straight teeth are simpler to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Improved Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth reduce stress on the jaw joints and eliminate issues caused by an improper bite.
- Enhanced Self-Esteem: A straight, attractive smile boosts confidence and can impact personal and professional relationships positively.
Signs You Might Need Orthodontic Care
It might be time to consider orthodontic treatment if you experience:
- Crowded or Overlapping Teeth: Difficulty in brushing and flossing thoroughly due to spacing issues.
- Overbite or Underbite: Upper teeth that significantly overlap the lower teeth or vice versa, leading to jaw discomfort and other complications.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces that may or may not affect function but can have aesthetic implications.
- Difficulty Chewing: Misalignment can cause discomfort or inefficiency when eating.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies based on individual needs but typically ranges from 12 to 36 months.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort after adjustments, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
At what age should orthodontic treatment begin?
We recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. However, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens; one in every five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.
How often will I need appointments during treatment?
Typically, you will need to visit Royersford Dental every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments and monitoring of your progress.
Will wearing braces affect how I eat or clean my teeth?
Yes, you may need to avoid certain hard and sticky foods with braces. Regular brushing and flossing become even more important to prevent decay around the brackets and wires.
