When Should A Patient Seek Braces?
Braces are an investment in improving the confidence to smile in any situation life throws at you. Island Orthodontics wants to not only help you love your smile, but also improve your health and quality of life.
Some patients associate getting braces with childhood, but increasingly, adults need them, as well. The indications that someone should have braces differ based on age, but the following symptoms may apply:
Adult Patients
- Noticeable crowding or crookedness in teeth
- Regular incidents of biting or cutting the tongue
- Improper alignment of teeth when the mouth is in a resting position
- Weakness or pain in the jaw area after eating
- Difficulty when brushing and flossing near crooked teeth
- Clicking sound in the jaw when chewing or after waking up in the morning
- Trouble articulating certain sounds because of an irregular position of the tongue under the teeth
Young Patients
- Premature or belated loss of baby teeth
- Clicking or other noises emanating from the jaw
- Frequently biting the tongue, inside of the cheek, and roof of the mouth
- Sucking thumbs or using a pacifier past age two
- Misalignment of the teeth even when the mouth is shut
- Mouth-breathing
Our Orthodontic Braces
At Island Orthodontics, patients reap the benefits of a variety of appliance choices. Our conventional metal braces are made of biocompatible titanium versus traditional stainless steel which can elicit nickel allergies for some patients.
The unique features of our Ormco Titanium Braces include:
- Titanium construction: They're durably crafted for greater longevity.
- Coordinated archwires: These provide gentle pressure during treatment for enhanced efficiency and patient comfort.
- Tooth-shaped pads: These foster smoother wear and less breakage
- Compensation in the lower cuspid brackets: This decreases the profile of the lower anterior brackets.
Another option we offer is Clear Ceramic Braces. Unlike traditional braces, this alternative uses brackets that are clear or colored to mimic the patient's teeth. Ceramic braces are an excellent choice for a more self-conscious patient, as they are less visible than metal alternatives.
To further enhance the experience of getting braces, Island Orthodontics allows patients to stylize their appliances. Our patients can stand out in our 24 karat gold coated braces.
