Braces have come a long way in recent years. Not only can they correct the position of your teeth, but a healthier mouth will prevent issues such as lung infections and heart disease. You see, crooked teeth are difficult to keep clean, increasing the risk of gum disease — which affects your overall health.
What can you expect in getting braces?
– Treatment times range between six months and two years.
– Some braces may be placed behind the teeth for a seamless appeal.
– Plastic retainers like Invisalign are very discreet and can be removed to clean the teeth
“These days, when it comes to braces, the options are more discreet than those of 40 years ago.”
