Orthodontics in Houston

While there are a few signs, being unhappy with your smile due to crooked teeth may be the ultimate sign you may need orthodontic treatment. Other good indicators include a hard time chewing, difficulty flossing between crooked teeth, frequently biting your tongue on your front teeth, and/or constant jaw pain and headaches. If you are still unsure about orthodontic treatment, get in touch with us and a member of our team can answer any questions you may have or schedule a consultation with our Houston dentist for you. 

Orthodontic care not only has significant psychological benefits because of an improved appearance, it can ensure better and proper function of your teeth, align your jaws and bite, improve gum health, and reduce the wear and tear of your teeth. Since straight teeth are much easier to clean and maintain, you’ll find that orthodontic care will leave a lasting positive impression on simple daily tasks such as chewing and brushing your teeth, as well as your overall oral health and mental wellbeing.

It is best for children to receive orthodontic treatment before they go through puberty to make it easier for their developing teeth to adjust properly. While orthodontic treatment usually takes longer for adults, clear aligners can be a more efficient and convenient solution that can be done at nearly any age. If crooked teeth, gaps, or misaligned bites interfere with your everyday life, it may be time to look into orthodontic treatment options. Give us a call today so we can go over your options and help you get to a brighter smile.
