Your Arnold, MO orthodontist complements general dentistry with braces and Clear Correct aligners. Read about the health benefits of orthodontics.
A young mouth is one that should be carefully looked after. They’re more susceptible to disease than an adult’s mouth. Because they are still developing, it’s often difficult to keep a child’s mouth completely clean and averse from developing a disease. It all starts at home and how they’re taking care of their teeth. Of course, this all depends on their age. It’s important to keep a close eye on all of your kids’ oral health, but much younger kids need adult assistance. Practicing and maintaining excellent oral health habits will pave the road for a beautiful looking and feeling smile. Cavities are seen in kids more than any other disease, and we aim to try to lower those numbers.
There are lots of people who have had to wear braces at some point in their lives, and they all have had roughly the same experiences. Everyone knows before they get braces what they’re getting into, they just don’t know exactly what it is that is in store for them. It’s been a tradition to outfit young or older mouths with braces when there are teeth that are misaligned. Not everyone is born with beautiful teeth. There are alternative teeth-straightening methods that have been introduced to the market over the years, but a good chunk of patients still opt for traditional metal braces. Our office in Arnold, MO specializes in putting patients in braces, so if you think it’s the treatment choice for you, we’d love to see you in for a visit.
