If you are considering braces, you should consult your dentist to talk about your options. Adults and children now have many orthodontic solutions available to correct misalignments in the teeth and jaws.

Will Braces Improve Your Dental Health?
If you have an overbite, underbite or crooked or gapped teeth, braces may help you achieve better oral health. A misaligned bite can lead to more significant health problems, and crooked teeth make cleaning them more difficult, which can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and eventual tooth loss of those are left untreated.

Will Braces Give You a More Confident Smile?
Hiding your smile because you feel embarrassed by your teeth doesn't have to be a lifetime habit. Braces can realign your teeth so that you feel more confident facing the world and can show off your healthy smile.

Adult Alternatives to Braces
