The Benefits of Braces for Teens
Teens are all about confidence, and a straight, healthy smile plays a big role in that. But braces aren’t just about looks.
- Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
- Braces can also correct bite problems that might lead to jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing.
- Early intervention with braces can sometimes prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later on.
