Do You Need Braces?

Braces aren't just for creating a beautiful smile — they play an important role in your overall dental health. You might need braces if you have crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or issues with your bite, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Braces help align your teeth properly, making it easier to clean them and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. They also improve chewing, speech, and prevent excessive wear on your teeth.Today’s orthodontic options go beyond traditional metal braces. You can choose from ceramic braces, lingual braces (placed behind the teeth), or clear aligners, which are nearly invisible and more comfortable.If you’re experiencing jaw pain, difficulty in biting or chewing, or if your teeth don’t meet properly when your mouth is closed, it might be time to consult an orthodontist.A healthy, straight smile isn’t just about looks — it’s about long-term health and confidence.
