Their Smile Depends On Balance To Stay Safe

If your child is struggling with their smile’s alignment, it could hold them back in their oral health journey. They are probably familiar with the cosmetic elements of their condition, as they see them every day, but they might not be aware of all of the risks associated with poor spacing along their oral ridge. But there are some serious problems that can occur when smiles are out of balance, so it is important to talk with their dental team about ways to keep themselves safe.

When teeth crowd or overlap, they can create areas that are tough for people to clean on their own. Their toothbrush and floss simply might not fit where they need them to, and when this happens, they can experience plaque and tartar buildup. These forms of harmful biofilm lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease, so talking about orthodontics can help them to keep their smile protected.

Invisalign® Or Braces? Finding Their Approach

There are more possibilities in orthodontic intervention than ever before, including traditional braces with ceramic brackets and Invisalign® clear aligner therapy. By talking with their orthodontist about their options, you and your child can work to find the path that’s right for them. For some, a simple, convenient, and nearly invisible aligner method is right for them, helping to improve appearance and oral health without the world watching. Take the time to meet with their provider to discuss all of their possibilities.
