The Benefits of Braces

BracesBraces can do many things for your smile. They can give you the smile you desire by straightening crooked teeth. They can also improve tooth functioning by correcting misaligned bites, such as overbites and underbites. At Yoon Dentistry, Dr. Brian Yoon and Dr Florence Yoon are your dentists for braces in Ormond Beach, FL.

Types of Braces

In Ormond Beach, several types of braces are available at Yoon Dental. The different types of braces all effectively and efficiently straighten teeth and correct alignment problems. Each type also offers distinct advantages and the type that is right for you can depend on personal preference, as well as insurance coverage. The three primary types of braces are:

  • Metal
  • Ceramic
  • Lingual

All three types of braces utilize brackets, bands, and wires to move the teeth into the desired position. Brackets are affixed to the teeth in the front of the mouth, while metal bands are wrapped around the molars in the back. The brackets and bands are all connected with wires, one for the top row of teeth and one for the bottom row.

Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are comprised of silver metal components. Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but are less noticeable as the brackets are clear. Lingual braces are silver tone, like metal braces, but are also less conspicuous, like ceramic braces, as the brackets are mounted on the backs of teeth. Metal braces are the most affordable option, while lingual braces tend to be the most expensive.

Benefits of Braces

There are multiple benefits to getting braces, whether you choose metal, ceramic, or lingual. Braces improve the appearance of your smile by straightening crooked teeth, repositioning teeth that are out of place, and correcting misaligned bites. By correcting the positioning of the teeth, braces can also improve overall tooth functioning. Biting and chewing functions are more effective when teeth are properly positioned and the bite is properly aligned. Additionally, biting and chewing functions are more evenly distributed across all teeth when the teeth are straight.

Another benefit of braces is that maintaining good oral hygiene is easier when teeth are straight. Teeth that are crowded together or overlap one another can be difficult to thoroughly brush and floss. Maintaining a cleaner mouth is easier when dental floss or the bristles of a toothbrush can reach between and around teeth.

Braces offer several benefits, including aesthetic and functional ones. For braces in Ormond Beach, schedule an appointment with Drs. Brian and Florence Yoon by calling Yoon Dentistry at (386) 672-2828.
