Potential benefits
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics play an important role in improving overall Craniomandibular, oral-facial, and cardiovascular health. Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics provide balance and harmony between the teeth and face, and a beautiful and healthy smile. An attractive smile enhances confidence and self esteem, and creates social, work-related, and economic opportunities to improve the quality of life.
The likelihood of temporomandibular or myofascial pain disorders, snoring, and sleep apnea is reduced. Respiratory and cardiovascular functions are often improved.
Orthodontic treatment can eliminate potential dental problems including abnormal wear of the teeth. Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush. There is less likelihood of dental decay, diseases of the gum and supporting bone, and costly restorative care.
"Prior to having this work done, I definitely felt self conscious about my smile; and as you age, in particular, there is something that happens to your mouth that changes and it really shows your age. I think that in having my teeth straightened, there's the physical part that changes but there's something inside that changes that you are not even aware of, and that has to do with your confidence and how you walk into a room. You know you look fine, so you present yourself differently and that's bound to affect everything."
