\"Braces<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When you think of braces, you may imagine a simple orthodontic<\/a> treatment. After all, most people only get them to straighten their teeth for cosmetic purposes. However, there\u2019s more to this dental appliance than meets the eye. In particular, several exciting truths about the metal layer of brackets and wires aren\u2019t well-known. You\u2019d do well to learn these features if you receive the procedure in the future. That said, read on to learn five \u201cfun facts\u201d about metal braces in Parsippany from your local dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Braces Have a Long History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given their complexity, it\u2019s easy to think braces have only been around for a few decades. In reality, they\u2019ve existed for almost 300 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre Fauchard \u2014 a French physician considered the founder of modern orthodontics \u2014 created the first braces in 1728. To do so, he used a \u201cBandeau,\u201d a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that helped expand the palate. He later published a book called \u201cThe Surgeon Dentist\u201d which included his methods for straightening teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Have Modern Braces Thanks to NASA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly enough, NASA of all groups developed the alloy for metal braces. It initially made the material, known as nickel titanium, to be a heat-resistant part of space shuttles. Since the metal can keep its shape when bent, though, it\u2019s perfect for making flexible wires that attach to teeth. Plus, the alloy helps decrease the discomfort associated with braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braces Do More Than Straighten Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, braces can do more than just straighten teeth. They can also fix irregular bites \u2014 crossbites, underbites, overbites, or open bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this ability, braces can treat health problems like difficulty chewing or swallowing, breathing issues, and even speech problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Orthodontist is a Dentist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While every orthodontist is a dentist, not every dentist is an orthodontist. The truth is that those who aspire to orthodontics have to spend 2-3 years in a postgraduate program in addition to dental school. As a result, the American Academy of Orthodontists (AOO) has found that only 6% of American dentists are also orthodontists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braces Aren\u2019t Just for Teens & Pre-Teens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While pop culture implies that only adolescents get braces, adults can receive them too. In fact, the AAO reports that \u00bc of the Americans who have them are over 18 years old. In other words, it\u2019s never too late to get your ideally-straightened smile! You can see an orthodontist for your crooked teeth, regardless of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are cool things about braces that don\u2019t get talked about much. Feel free to learn other such facts from your local orthodontist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
