More Than Just Straight Teeth
Orthodontics can contribute to a straight smile but for your orthodontist this is merely a ‘side effect’ of working towards a healthy, functioning smile and jaw.
The capabilities of orthodontic treatment also includes:
- Shaping your upper and lower jaws
- Improving your facial profile
- Correcting your bite and its function
- Increasing the fullness of your lips
- Enhancing the shape and size of your smile
- Eliminating habits such as finger and thumb sucking
- Correcting jaw irregularities
- Rectifying breathing problems
- Improving speech difficulties
These are all just as important to your orthodontist as achieving a straight, beautiful smile.
