If it is determined that early interceptive treatment is not necessary, comprehensive treatment with full upper and lower braces will not begin until the permanent teeth have erupted.
We all know the most obvious benefit of braces is the beautiful smile achieved from treatment, but there are numerous other benefits as well. Having straight teeth accumulate less plaque and enables you to keep your teeth clean, which reduces the chance of tooth decay and gum disease. Straight teeth and properly aligned jaws will also allow you to have a healthier bite, thus reducing abnormal wear on the teeth and gum tissues. Finally, orthodontic treatment is far less expensive than restorative dental problems that are needed to correct problems that may arise as a result of not having braces.
