What are the Benefits
of Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is an important aspect of good oral health. Along with the obvious benefits of having straight teeth, such as a greater sense of confidence, Dental Depot’s orthodontists can also improve oral health and oral function.
Specific benefits of orthodontic work typically include:
- A reduced risk of tooth decay: Crooked or crowded teeth can cause food to become stuck in between your teeth, leading to plaque buildup, erosion of enamel and cavities.
- Reduced risk of gum disease: Plaque buildup can also inflame the gums and, if untreated, lead to gum disease. Orthodontic treatment can limit the plaque buildup that causes gum inflammation.
- Lower chances of developing TMJ (temporomandibular disorder): When teeth are misaligned, strain is often placed on the jaw joints and can lead to TMJ.

Dental Depot offers a variety of treatment solutions for patients of all ages, from young children to middle-aged adults. As long as the individual has relatively healthy jawbone density and gum tissue, he or she can be a candidate for orthodontic treatment and benefit from the results, such as those listed above.

In addition to providing traditional braces, we also offer silver Damon brackets and more discreet options, such as clear Damon brackets and clear aligners like Invisalign.
