Think it’s too late to get your teeth straightened? That adults don’t wear braces, and you’ve lived with your crooked teeth this long so there is point in changing them now anyway? If so, Aventura cosmetic dentist Dr. Howard Hoffman has something to say- you’re wrong on all counts. It’s not too late to straighten your teeth and get a beautiful, healthy smile. Adults do wear braces, and there are a lot of really good reasons to straighten your teeth that go way beyond the simple cosmetic look of your smile. Straightening your teeth won’t just effect your moral, but it can also have a profound impact on your continuing overall health.
Crooked Teeth Put Your Health At Risk
Crooked or misaligned teeth do not sit properly within the gums, compromising your body’s natural defenses against plaque and gingivitis. Maybe that doesn’t sound too scary, but over time cavities and gingivitis can actually lead to late life tooth loss, loss of mass in the jawbone and tone in the facial muscles, chronic ear and headaches, joint and nerve pain, difficulty in speaking or chewing, and a debilitating neuromuscular disorder known as TMJ. Chronic gingivitis has even been linked to diseases such as diabetes, pneumonia, heart disease, and stroke. That’s why Dr. Howard Hoffman is proud to offer his Aventura dentistry patients his Six Month Smiles program.
Six Month Smiles
Do inexpensive adult braces that are nearly invisible and effective in only six months sound too good to be true? Maybe, but these are the real deal. The Six Month Smiles program uses cutting edge technology to get you results that used to take years, and all the components are tooth colored so people see your smile, not your braces. Using low force helps make your treatment much more comfortable than traditional metal braces, and eliminates many of the risk issues, such as root damage, that are involved with most orthodontic structures. With Six Month Smiles, there’s no reason to live with crooked teeth, and knowing the health benefits, wouldn’t straightening your teeth help you smile a little easier?
