FAQs About Adult Braces in Brookhaven and Alpharetta
Thinking about getting adult braces? It is never too late to obtain that smile you always wished you’d had. There is no age limit to braces: as long as your teeth and gums are healthy, it is safe for you to have your teeth straightened. As you know, esthetics and a youthful appearance are very important in our society, and more and more adults are getting braces these days. A bright smile with straight teeth can not only improve your self-image. Research has proven that it affects how others see us. Often straightening crowded teeth in adults can provide a “facelift” effect. Since straight teeth provide added lip support and added lip support means more fullness around the mouth. This fullness gives a decidedly more youthful appearance to a face.
From a dental perspective, braces can provide the following benefits:
- Prevention or improvement of periodontal (gum) problems
- Prevention or reduction in bone loss around teeth
- Improvement in the ability of dentists to restore missing teeth
- Improvement in the function of teeth
- Overall oral health improvement
