Why Braces?
Benefits
Part of having a healthy mouth includes proper jaw alignment and straight teeth. Teeth that aren't straight are very hard to get clean, which can lead to gum disease and decay. Together with your dentist, Dr. Torrebiarte will help you to have the healthiest mouth possible. Now that is something to smile about!
How Old Do I Need To Be?
Dr. T feels strongly that you are never too old to have a healthy, beautiful smile. For most people, a dazzling smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. If you are an adult and wondering if you could do braces, remember, one in every five patients receiving orthodontic care today is over 21. Nothing is better than showing off a radiant smile that you have covered up for many years! It is best to see your orthodontist by the age of 7 to advise if treatment is required, but Dr. Torrebiarte will never start treatment until absolutely necessary. This is usually when your child has lost baby teeth and the permanent teeth are in.
