Adult Orthodontics in Calgary
For some Adult Orthodontic Patients in Calgary the use of brackets and wires are required to effectively correct bite issues. But don’t be nervous about the thought of wearing orthodontic brackets as they also are available in tooth colored or clear materials that have been manufactured specifically with esthetics in mind.
Why is Orthodontic Treatment so Important?
Dental health concerns like gingivitis due to poor tooth alignment can be easily resolved with orthodontic treatment. When teeth are gently moved to correct crooked or overlapping teeth the ability to brush and floss and keep the mouth clean is greatly improved. Teeth that overlap one another create the perfect place for food to become trapped and bacteria to develop – with many orthodontic patients expressing how frustrated they use to get when trying to keep these areas clean, prior to their teeth being straightened.
