It’s Time To Celebrate National Orthodontics Health Month!
For kids, October means Halloween is just around the corner. For dentists and orthodontists across the nation it is a whole month devoted to celebrating healthy smiles, learning more about the benefits of orthodontic treatment, and the importance of good oral health.
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth to improve their appearance and how they work. Some of the common reasons that people seek orthodontic treatment include crooked or crowded teeth, prominent teeth or an incorrect bite. Left untreated, these issues can result in more oral health problems, including tooth decay, tooth loss, gum disease or even jaw problems.
While many people consider this treatment for kids and teens, it is becoming more common for adults to seek treatment to correct long-standing problems or to fix changes that occur as they age. With roughly four million people in the United States wearing braces, nearly 25% are adults.
During National Orthodontics Health Month, take a few minutes to learn all about braces. If you have more questions, we would love to answer them!
