Ask the Orthodontist

tf your mom or dad takes a look at your teeth and decides they might be a Mlle
crooked, don't worry. You have lots of company. Lots of kids don't have perfect
teeth. In fact, take a look at most of your classmates — they probably don't have
straight teeth °Merl

Sometimes teeth just don't grow In evenly. Your teeth might be crooked, or your
upper and lower Jaws might not be the some size. Whatever Is going on in your
mouth, it's all called a mat-occlusion, a word that comes from Latin and means
'bad btte.'. You need not worry though; an orthodontic specialist can take care of
this and give you a beautiful smile. The orthodontist can determine how best to
straighten your teeth and give you a perfect smile.

There's good news for you on the braces scene. Braces are much less noticeable than
when your mom or dad were kids. Metal braces are still used, but you might be able
to get clear braces or braces that am the same color as your teeth. The wires that are
used in braces are also smaller and better than they used to be, and they are even
make of a space-age material that shuightens your teeth faster and easier.

And forget about feeling weird about all the contraptions in your mouth. Some
orthodontists have eliminated headgear and uncomfortable forces. The rubber bands
on the braces can be In any combination of colors to make a fashion statement.
Having fun with your braces Is a great way to make the time until they come off
