Braces: The Fixer-Upper for Your Smile

Posted .

Braces have been a popular treatment for children and teenagers for many, many years. In recent years, the use of braces in adults has been growing. There are many reasons why braces in Johns Creek, Georgia, can help not just children, but adults.

There are many reasons why Dr. John Fleming may recommend braces for you or your child. Braces can do many things for your smile, including:

Improve your oral health. Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss. If you straighten your teeth and do your part, you can expect less decay and healthier gums.

Correct shifting teeth. Shifting teeth is an issue for children and adults alike. Even if you had braces as a child, your teeth can still shift. This is because the teeth tend to move a little throughout an individual’s life.

Straighten crooked or crowded teeth. Braces can guide your teeth to their correct positions. They can even line up teeth that are facing different directions. This can improve the appearance of your smile.

Correct your bite. Braces can correct underbites, overbites, and crossbites, which can cause jaw pain.
