Orthodontic treatment, more commonly referred to as braces treatment, entails braces to realign misaligned teeth. Apart from straightening teeth, orthodontic treatment aids in restoring a person’s bite, tooth function, and aesthetics. Visiting our Calgary orthodontic clinic is critical in preventing dental problems such as cavities and gum disease that frequently occur due to misalignment.
You can start an Orthodontic treatment in Calgary for your children at least seven years of age. Braces have no upper age limit. You can get braces at any age if you have good oral health and healthy teeth. At any age, orthodontic treatment can significantly improve your appearance and self-confidence. If your gums and bone structure are healthy, you can change your teeth alignment at any age.
At The Port Dental clinic in Calgary, we provide various treatment options for all ages, including adults.
Problems like food lodgments, plaque/calculus, cavities, and periodontal diseases are common with misaligned teeth. It is equally critical to improving the health of your teeth and gums. Crooked teeth and an improper bite can result in tooth decay, gum and bone loss, abnormal wear of teeth, enamel, and surfaces, as well as headaches and jaw and joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Braces treatment is a part of the process that corrects all types of misalignments such as overbite, crossbite, forwardly placed teeth, spacing, midline diastema, crowding, etc. Thus, along with a look to make the oral cavity healthy, orthodontic care is necessary. Orthodontic treatment makes smiles beautiful and healthy.
