Why Get Braces?
For patients with crooked or misaligned teeth, it is not uncommon to feel hesitation or anxiety when considering getting braces. Although it may not seem like a cause for concern when teeth are not perfectly aligned, this condition can cause more serious concerns, such as:
- Interference with chewing
- Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene with flossing and brushing, increasing the likelihood of developing decay, gingivitis, and cavities.
- Strain on the muscles, jaws, and teeth, increasing the risk of tooth breakage
- Loss of self-confidence and a hesitation to show the teeth when smiling or laughing
What are the Benefits of Braces?
At Tenn Yuk Orthodontics, we offer traditional metal braces as well as Invisalign® clear braces for adults and teens . The benefits of braces are not only aesthetic, and this time-tested orthodontic treatment offers multiple advantages to patients, such as:
- A dental plan that is customized to your individual needs
- A healthier mouth overall
- More effective speaking, biting, and chewing
- Complete correction of crowded, crooked, and twisted teeth in the mouth, ensuring a good start to long-lasting dental health
- A cosmetically-appealing smile that you will be proud to show off
Do I Need Braces?
The necessity of braces is determined on a case by case basis, and at Tenn Yuk Orthodontics, we utilize the advanced iTero® scanner to create high-resolution 3D images of patients’ mouths, ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment. Once Dr. Tenn Yuk has a complete image of your mouth, he will evaluate your teeth alignment and bite to determine if braces are the best course of treatment for you.
If you qualify for braces, a customized treatment plan will be created for you based on the condition of your teeth as well as your preferences.
