What is the purpose of the orthodontic treatment (braces) and who can benefit from it ?
There is no specific age to begin an orthodontic treatment. Although it is best to begin treatment early on, prior to the end of the growth period, these days 35% of patients who are currently undergoing treatment are adults. Today’s technology has provided us with extremely discreet and in some cases invisible apparatus. Orthodontics serves to guide the teeth towards their proper alignment. In some cases the treatment is initiated for aesthetic reasons, while in other cases there are also practical issues. Orthodontics can help people who suffer from an articulation problem, from headaches and back pain. When you meet the dentist for an evaluation, he will be able to tell you what orthodontics can do for you.
