The <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/cosmetic-dentistry\/adult-orthodontics\/article\/ada-10-october-is-national-orthodontics-month\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">American Dental Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> estimates that more than 1.2 million US adults currently wear braces, and that\u2019s not even counting the kiddos and teens that are sporting brackets and wires, too. So there\u2019s really never been a better time to celebrate!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To honor the month, we want to take a break to talk about braces. What they\u2019re for, why they\u2019re important, and the options we offer at Rauchberg Dental Group. Yes, we do <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rauchberg.com\/orthodontics.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">braces<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, too! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why Orthodontics Are Important<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic problem. You may be less than reluctant to show off a smile with crowded, gapped, or otherwise misaligned teeth, but the side effects of those issues can actually affect your overall health as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting braces at any age can help you avoid these consequences of misaligned teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crowded teeth may be difficult to brush and floss thoroughly, leaving you at an increased risk of getting cavities or gum disease. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gaps in the teeth can trap food particles, raising the risk of tooth decay. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nighttime teeth grinding is more likely to occur when the upper and lower jaw do not fit together properly, leaving otherwise healthy teeth worn down or weak. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Misaligned teeth cause pain in the jaw joint (the TMJ). TMJ dysfunction is linked to jaw mobility issues, headaches, ear pain, and teeth grinding. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your Options in Braces<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today\u2019s options in braces are better than ever, offering more affordability and greater choice for adult and child patients alike. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traditional braces work using metal brackets that are affixed to the tooth surface. Wires threaded through and tightened at interval periods place pressure on different areas of the bite throughout treatment, gradually shifting teeth into the proper alignment. Tooth colored braces are available, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move the teeth into the proper position. Because the aligners are practically invisible, Invisalign is a popular option with image-conscious teens and professional adults. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduling a consultation with your orthodontist can help you decide which option is best for your lifestyle, budget, and timeline. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Should You Visit the Orthodontist?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because most dental misalignments are apparent in early childhood, the general recommendation is for children to have an orthodontic consultation around age 7. Orthodontic treatment generally begins between ages 8 to 12. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is never too late to benefit from orthodontic treatment. If you missed the boat on braces as a child or teen, National Orthodontic Month is a perfect time to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rauchberg.com\/request-an-appointment.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">book a visit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with your orthodontist! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">About the Author<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Dr. Allie DeGeorge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is experienced in all phases of orthodontic treatment for children, teens and adults alike. She provides traditional orthodontics, tooth colored braces, Invisalign, and orthodontic appliances at Rauchberg Dental Group.
