The benefits of orthodontic treatment
There is a misconception that braces are only available for children. The truth is that more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment than ever before!
It is never too late to get that winning smile. Teeth can be moved successfully provided they and the gums and supporting structures are healthy.
We have compiled a list of the benefits of orthodontic treatment as documented in scientific studies and also from personal experience.

- Reduce the risk of injury to protruding teeth
- A good bite should result in less strain on the jaw joints and muscles
- Spaces can be closed if teeth are small or missing to obviate the need for dentures/bridges or implants
- To help stop digit sucking habits that harm the bite
- To prepare teeth and bite for other dental treatment
Children only
