: Who Needs Orthodontics, When, and Why?
Studies show that millions of Americans have oral health problems that could benefit from orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child see an orthodontist by age seven. Early treatment can achieve results that are sometimes unattainable later.

Braces Aren�t Just For Kids
Regardless of a person�s age, orthodontic treatment is usually a change for the better. It is no longer necessary to live with a smile that has made you self-conscious all your life.

What Happens If Orthodontic Problems Go Untreated?
Untreated problems may contribute to tooth decay, diseased gums, bone destruction, TMJ dysfunction, and loss of teeth. Sometimes, the increased cost of dental care resulting from an untreated malocclusion may far exceed the cost of
orthodontic care.

Psychological Benefits
Aside from dental health concerns, orthodontic treatment is
frequently initiated for the patient�s emotional well-being. Appearance can have an effect on popularity, social behaviors, self-expectations, personality style, and self image. Adult orthodontics may positively affect career patterns, social acceptance, and self confidence.

Tooth Technology
During the last decade, new materials and techniques have been developed that can improve patient comfort, reduce treatment time, and help control costs. In today�s appearance-and-health- conscious society, esthetic advancements in braces will continue to popularize orthodontics. This on-going technology is expected to enhance a patient�s orthodontic experience today, as well as in the future.

Isn�t Orthodontic Treatment Expensive?
Not in comparison with the cost of dealing with untreated problems. Fees vary widely depending on the complexity and length of treatment. Generally, fees may be paid over an extended period of time during the course of treatment. In addition, many insurance policies cover a portion of these costs.
