Today, orthodontic treatment is simple, convenient and affordable for patients of all ages. And an attractive smile is just one of the benefits. Orthodontic treatment results in correctly aligned teeth that provide ideal jaw function and a great smile! Additionally, your teeth are easier to clean and more resistant to gum disease. Perhaps most importantly, orthodontic treatment almost always provides improved self-confidence.
There are many reasons why a person would need orthodontics:
- To correct abnormalities of tooth position
- To intercept growth abnormalities to correct skeletal and dental imbalances
- To provide a solid and balanced bite so that teeth fit together properly
- To look for continuation of orthodontic care if you have just moved to the Maryland area
In accordance with the American Association of Orthodontists, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. With early evaluation and diagnosis, children can achieve optimal orthodontic results. Early treatment provides a range of benefits and often means that a patient can avoid surgery or other serious complications. There is, of course, no age limit for orthodontic treatment as both children and adults benefit from orthodontics. At The Village Orthodontist office, we know how important it is to feel good about your smile and we are here to give you the smile you always wanted.
