It is important to undergo orthodontic treatment when all your adult teeth have erupted to make sure that you have straight and neatly aligned teeth. Not only does straightening your teeth enhance the appearance of your smile, but it also helps you enjoy good dental health for the rest of your life. This is why the dentist encourages orthodontic treatment for teenagers so then they can reap the benefits from an early age for the whole of their life.
By straightening your teeth as soon as possible you will be promoting good dental health which will help avoid complications in the future. However, it is also important to remember that teeth straightening is not restricted to just teenagers, teeth straightening can be carried out as an adult and there is no upper age limit for having your teeth straightened if you have healthy teeth and gums.
Traditional orthodontics

Traditional orthodontics Navan is carried out using metal braces. The metal braces are made out of brackets and wires that are fitted to the front surface of your teeth and tightened at regular intervals throughout the process to exert pressure on the teeth until they reach a neatly aligned formation. Traditional orthodontics Navan has been used for over 100 years and it is a highly effective method of correcting complex orthodontic issues. As a teenager, traditional orthodontic braces are most highly recommended by the dentist as they produce long-lasting results.

This could be overcrowded teeth, overlapping, teeth, protruding teeth, crooked and wonky teeth. With braces, you can also correct bite disorders of different types, including overbite, underbite and crossbite. By addressing these issues you will improve the appearance of your smile and you will enjoy better dental health in the future.
