Children’s Smiles have a Whole World Inside Them

Smile Quote No. 35:“Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone.” - Michael Jackson

When you see your children smile, you're reminded that you want them to experience every happiness in the world. However, when they are suffering from problems with their teeth, finding a solution first is necessary. Making an appointment with an orthodontist specialist is the right move because these dentists have an expertise in braces.

You might be reluctant to contact the orthodontist because you don't like traditional braces, or maybe you just don't understand what braces are. In the past, braces were available only as metal squares on the teeth connected by wires. Other versions of affordable braces are produced today, but some kids like the old-fashioned kind. They get to change the colors on them, and many children will opt for shades that are seasonal.

For those who want different kinds of braces, other options exist. Some choose to have braces put on the backs of their teeth so that they are not visible. Others will have to wear only a retainer or headgear at night to correct the issues with their mouth. Still other people choose to have Invisalign. In some ways, this system is like traditional braces. However, as the name implies, the braces are invisible. If you, yourself, need to get braces, then you might enjoy this option. Many adults prefer it.

The type of braces you get depends upon the cost, but it also depends upon the unique problems you have with your teeth. For example, if you have a certain issue with your teeth or their alignment, some types of braces might be unavailable to you. This is why a consultation with the orthodontist is important so you can tailor a plan specific to your needs. Give Beecroft Orthodontics a call today to schedule an appointment and be on your way to a shinier smile.

Orthodontics: Creating Perfect Smiles

Smile Quote No. 34: “Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.”- Greta Garbo

You remember when your little ones were born and their first teeth grew. Since then, you have diligently attended to their dental care, but some situations are beyond your control. Teeth that grow in a crooked fashion or point outwards instead of in are only two of the troubles that could manifest as little ones age and shed their baby teeth. Setting up an appointment with a specialist in orthodontics will answer your child's question of, "Do I need braces?"

Orthodontists are specialty dentists who generally focus on braces, retainers and other restorative treatments. By making a mold of your children's teeth and taking x-rays, the exact problem can be determined. You can also work with the orthodontist early to devise a course of action for after all of the baby teeth have fallen out as braces cannot be placed in the mouth before then. An orthodontist is not only there for the braces phase of the process.

To ensure that these braces do the job, the orthodontist will likely have follow-up appointments with your child once the braces have been removed. During these appointments, youngsters are often fitted for a retainer to ensure that their teeth do not return to their once crooked placements. Furthermore, the orthodontist can work to ensure that no other problems manifest with the mouth. In conjunction with the regular dentist, kids can be off to a lifetime of proper dental hygiene.

Braces are not just for children, however. You might be suffering from a lack of proper dental care in your youth and find that your own teeth are a bit awry as well. Sitting down with the orthodontist to express your concerns is a smart idea, and you can explore options for braces that are more adult-friendly. For that matter you might consider contactingBeecroft Orthodontics for all braces related queries.
