If your teeth are not correctly positioned, they can look unsightly. Crooked teeth can also lead to problems in your mouth. Many people feel self-conscious about their teeth but there is no need as, at One Smile Oral Care in West Malling, braces offer a great way of straightening them. The best time to have treatment is in childhood as this allows the jaw to develop properly and for the top and bottom teeth to function correctly. However, if you are an adult who missed out on treatment, it is never too late. For our patients in West Malling, braces have given people the benefit of a more beautiful smile as well as enhancing their oral health. This is because straighter teeth are easier to clean as there are fewer gaps in which plaque can accumulate. Having braces treatment also ensure stability in the mouth, as all teeth are properly supported which prevents them drifting.
Are metal braces my only option?
