Generations ago, the vast majority of people wearing braces were teens. Adults who did not have their teeth straightened when they were younger seldom considered the dental procedure in their later adult lives. Today, more and more people of all ages are getting their teeth in alignment. It is not just about having a beautiful smile, although that is a very compelling reason.
Misalignment of the teeth causes a variety of dental issues. Some can be uncomfortable; for instance, it is not unusual for people with misaligned teeth to frequently bite their tongue or the inside of their cheeks. When teeth are out of place they can be more difficult to keep clean. This can lead to plaque build-up and eventual gingivitis if it is not kept under control.
There is also the fact that a smile full of crooked teeth is not very appealing. Fortunately, residents of Wynne and the surrounding area can come to Southern Dental Group to get their teeth into alignment. If you are dealing with misaligned teeth, see us for a consultation.
