Who Needs Orthodontics?

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 malocclusions are left untreated. Mal-occlusion
means that the teeth are not fitting together or spaced
properly. Those who fail to seek treatment in the belief that
they cannot either make the monetary investment or
commitment in time and energy necessary to have their

that the health dividends coming to them as a result of
having done so will far outweigh the negatives of treatment. Not only does othrodontic
treatment improve the appearance and function of the teeth, but it also brings an
improvement and an increase of self-esteem. These benefits are apparently not being
lost on adult patients, who, for whatever reason had to forego orthodontic treatment in
their youth and are choosing to correct their problem bites now. It is almost never too
late to undergo othrodontic treatment.

We all know that a beautiful smile contributes to increasing a person's appearance, but
it opens doors of opportunity that may otherwise not have opened. When someone
feels good about his or her appearance, they smile more, and look and feel happier. .

Everybody wants a beautiful smile and everyone ought to have a healthy one. The
orthodontist's goal is to achieve both for the patient. The importance of an attractive
smile should not be underestimated. A pleasing smile is a vital asset to one's self-
confidence
