Why use braces?
Usually reasons that lead to an orthodontic treatment are esthetic, functional and health related. In general, people want a prettier smile and, consequently, a more harmonic face, which elevates his/her self-esteem, and can improve social and professional relationships. Problems related to chewing that, at the same time, can cause damage to the teeth, periodontal tissues and temporomandibular articulation also justify the orthodontic treatment. At the same time, when teeth are jammed or crooked, adequate oral hygiene becomes more difficult, causing tooth decay and gum disease.
