ORTHODONTICS IN SAN ANTONIO

Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing a misaligned smile?

Crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth can really take a toll on a person’s confidence. Not everyone had the opportunity for orthodontic treatment as a child, and even those who did may find that their teeth have slowly relapsed over the years.

But who wants to spend a year or more in conventional bracket-and-wire braces that can detract from your professional appearance?

Fortunately, you have another option. South Flores Family Dental is proud to offer orthodontic treatment, an innovative option that uses transparent plastic aligners to nudge your teeth into their proper places.

WHY STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH?

If you aren’t bothered by the appearance of your misaligned teeth, you might be wondering why you should bother straightening them at all.

Actually, there are several good reasons to straighten your teeth – check out the video below for a better visualization of how crooked teeth can cause damage over time:

  • Crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth are far more difficult to keep clean and are therefore more prone to developing cavities and gum disease.
  • Widely spaced teeth have a tendency to trap food, leading to bad breath and cavities in between your teeth.
  • When teeth don’t line up properly, extra stress is placed on certain areas of your jaw. Over time, this leads to excessive wear, which in turn leads to damaged teeth and pain in your muscles and jaw joints.
