Ask The Orthodontist

The Best Of Everything

"Is orthodontics a priority
in today's society?"

I frequently get asked

Although some half million new patients begin orthodontic
treatment each year, an estimated ninety percent of all
youngsters between the ages of twelve and seventeen with
correctable mal-occlusions or dental alignment problems are
left untreated. Those who fail to seek treatment in the belief
that they cannot make either the monetary investment

have their teeth straightened and bites properly
aligned should know that the potential health dividends coming to them as a
result of having done so will far outweigh the cost of treatment. Not only does
orthodontic treatment improve the appearance and function of teeth, but also it
brings about an improvement in self-esteem. Additionally, properly positioned
teeth are easier to maintain and-can lessen the potential of future dental
problems, not just decay or cavities.

These benefits are not being lOst on adult patients, who for whatever reason, had
to forego orthodontic treatment in their youth, and are choosing to receive
orthodontic correction now. It is never too late to undergo orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic problems can affect one's emotional and psychological status as well
as physical health. When people look better, they generally feel better about
themselves. This enhances self-esteem and self-confidence, which play important
roles in social life and career opportunities. To help you evaluate your own
situation or that of your child, visit an orthodontic specialist for a consultation.
