Why are braces needed?

Braces are dental tools that can help us solve some issues with your teeth and jaw. Some of the most common problems that need to be solved with braces are:

  • Crossbites. When you have a crossbite, your upper teeth sit inside your lower ones, which can lead to misaligned jaw growth, jaw joint issues, and fractured teeth.
  • Crowded teeth. As its name suggests, this occurs when there is not enough space for all teeth, so some may be positioned in the wrong place and at the wrong angle, which makes it harder to have proper hygiene in teeth and gums.
  • Midline misalignment. This condition causes both your upper and lower front teeth to not be properly aligned. This can cause effects on the jaw and dental function.
  • Open bite. People with an open bite have their upper and lower front teeth separated, so they do not touch or overlap. When an open bite becomes severe, then some jaw surgery may be needed. 
  • Protrusion. People with protrusion have their upper front teeth extending too far in front of the lower teeth. This can lead to crowding between the lower front teeth, or excessive spaces between the upper front teeth.

As teeth, and all of your mouth, are connected directly to the brain, if you have some dental issues, all of your body will be affected. Also, there is the aesthetic aspect, braces can boost your self-esteem, so if your teeth disposition is an issue to you, go see an orthodontist and start your treatment now, you will not regret it.
