Beyond Braces: How Straight Teeth Helps In The Long Run

A question that many people ask before deciding to take the final step
towards braces is if they are needed or really that important. We’re
all aware that braces straighten teeth, but are they as beneficial as
people make them seem? The answer is yes. Not only do braces straighten
teeth for a more beautiful smile, but they do much more than that. At Speak
Orthodontics, we ensure our patients are well-informed about all of the benefits of
braces so that they can rest assured that they are making the best choice
for their dental health.

How Do Braces Affect Oral Health?

As previously mentioned, braces are essential in a multitude of ways. One
of the most critical uses is improving dental health by correcting alignment
and making sure all teeth are evenly spaced along the gums. When the teeth
are adjusted, the amount of pain that could be experienced by crooked
teeth is drastically decreased. Also, straight teeth are easier to clean
and have a lower chance of developing disease and decay, as well as directly
impact breath freshness.

How Else Do Braces Affect You?

Of course, your oral health is important, but so is your mental health
and feeling confident cosmetically! In a world where we are visually-inclined,
and there is a significant focus on personal appearance, having straight
teeth can be beneficial cosmetically. When you meet new people, go to
an interview, or greet bypassers on the street, it’s a great feeling
to have a beautiful smile that compliments your charming personality.
The more inclined you are to smile, the happier you will be!

I recently completed my Spark aligner treatment with Speaks Orthodontics, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I started with a severe open bite, and Dr. Speaks and his team were able to significantly improve both my bite and my smile. My original treatment timeline was 18–24 months, and I was able to finish in about 22 months, right within the expected timeframe. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Speaks and his team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive to any questions or concerns I had. I also experienced very little pain or discomfort during treatment, which made the experience that much better. The celebration and gift at the end of treatment were a fun, thoughtful personal touch and a great way to wrap up the experience! If you’re looking for an orthodontist who provides high-quality care, delivers great results, and makes you feel supported throughout the process, I highly recommend Dr. Speaks and his team. They exceeded my expectations, and I’m so glad I chose them for my treatment! Thank you for everything!

I’ve experienced 4 different orthodontists for my kids and Speaks is undeniably the best. Such thorough, smart and detailed care for my son. Can’t recommend him enough!

We come to speaks orthodontics for both of our kids more often than we would like. However, if you have to come someplace this often, this is a great place to visit. The staff is very friendly, they are accommodating with schedule changes and last minute issues. Dr Speaks is very charismatic and friendly!
