Adult Braces Yes You Can!
Posted January 23, 2011 in HomeThere are many reasons why braces are necessary for adults. Yes, even if you have had previous orthodontics you may need revision orthodontics. Technology and theory have both changed in regards to tooth movement. Fifteen plus years ago, most orthodontic procedures were performed to simply straighten teeth. There was limited research on using orthodontics to balance the chewing system during this time period. Fortunately, research over the years has provided the dental community with more proof that a balanced bite allows for tooth longevity.
When the chewing system is not balanced evenly, bone and tooth loss can occur. An uneven bite can also be a trigger for migraines, neck pain, periodontal disease, broken teeth, T.M.J. disorder and excessive tooth wear.
Our Riverside Biological and Biocompatible Dental office works very closely with our referring orthodontists to ensure that your bite is balanced along with the cosmetic aspect of straightening your teeth. Please contact our office located off of the 91-Freeway and Magnolia (951)686-3666.
