Why Would You Need Them?

Braces are an essential orthodontic treatment for individuals with misaligned teeth, overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and other dental irregularities. They are designed to correct these issues by gradually aligning teeth and jaws, resulting in a harmonious bite and an aesthetically pleasing smile. Whether you are a child, teenager, or adult, braces can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Visit Dr. Joseph H Thompson DDS MS INC. in Huntington, WV, to ensure optimal oral health and improved functionality.

Benefits of Braces

  1. Improved Oral Health: By aligning teeth and jaws, braces help prevent future dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and excessive wear on tooth enamel.
  2. Enhanced Appearance: Straight teeth and a well-aligned bite contribute to a more attractive smile, boosting self-esteem and confidence.
  3. Better Functionality: Properly aligned teeth improve the ability to chew and speak effectively, reducing strain on jaw muscles and joints.
  4. Long-Term Results: Braces provide a permanent solution to dental misalignments, offering long-lasting benefits when followed by appropriate retainer use.
  5. Precautions When Having Braces
  6. Oral Hygiene: Maintain rigorous oral hygiene practices, including brushing after every meal and flossing daily, to prevent plaque buildup around braces.
  7. Dietary Restrictions: Avoid hard, sticky, and sugary foods that can damage braces or cause cavities. Opt for softer foods and cut hard items into smaller pieces.
  8. Regular Check-Ups: Attend scheduled orthodontic appointments for adjustments and monitoring to ensure effective progress and timely resolution of any issues.
  9. Protection During Activities: Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical activities to protect braces and teeth from potential injury.
  10. Avoiding Bad Habits: Avoid habits such as nail-biting, chewing on pens, and using teeth to open packages, as these can damage braces.

Braces are powerful tools for achieving a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. At Thompson Orthodontics, we provide expert care and guidance throughout your orthodontic journey, ensuring you receive the maximum benefits from your braces.
