Orthodontics is a special discipline in dentistry concerned with properly aligning teeth and jaws. Having straight teeth and a proper bite is not just about aesthetics. At Forestream Dental Group, located right here in the Buffalo area, we find that straight teeth and a proper bite produce better overall oral health.
Misaligned teeth and improperly aligned jaws can cause:
- Faster tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Neck and shoulder problems
- TMJ
In addition, they can cause self-esteem and confidence issues.
Clear Braces
In our parent's time, the only choice for straightening teeth was metal braces. Now in addition to metal braces (which still work just fine), there are colored braces, clear braces and aligner systems, like Invisalign.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Many years ago, it was only teens who wore braces and they were often made fun of. Now braces are popular and almost every child has them and has them at an earlier age. Dr. Evola recommends that children be evaluated for orthodontic care by the age of seven. Sometimes starting orthodontic care earlier can make for shorter treatment times.
Patient Testimonial
"They are really great there, I've been going for years and they treat me incredibly well. My primary hygienist is Ana and has been since I was young and she always does an awesome job!" -Tyler F.
Adult Teeth Straightening Options
More and more adults are now being treated with orthodontics too. Many who feel they are "too old" for traditional braces are choosing Invisalign to straighten their teeth.
