Why Braces

Few people would deny that an attractive smile is an important part of the overall impression a person makes. An appealing, natural smile radiates confidence and projects a positive image. A beautiful smile is an integral part of looking and feeling your best. Dr. Joiner and his team can make a real difference in your smile!

What can braces do for me?

  • Health – Crooked teeth are harder to clean. This can lead to gum disease and dental decay. Straight teeth are definitely healthier teeth!
  • Function – Teeth that are crowded, protruded, or misaligned do not usually function ideally.
  • Reduced tooth wear – Poorly aligned teeth and bite discrepancies make the teeth more susceptible to accelerated wear and flat, older-looking teeth. Worn teeth are also more sensitive.
  • Aesthetics – Appearance is the most popular reason for orthodontic treatment, and why not? An attractive smile enhances self-esteem and self-confidence which can make a positive difference at school, at work, and in the community. When you consider the importance our society places on attractive appearance, and the importance of an appealing smile in looking one's best, the creation of a wonderful smile through orthodontic treatment is one of the best investments you can make.
