It's National Orthodontic Health Month!
In orthodontics, teeth are straightened or moved to improve their appearance, functionality, and ease of cleaning and flossing. If crooked teeth, protruding teeth, or an incorrect bite, are ignored, these conditions may result in additional oral health issues like tooth loss, decay, gum disease, and even jaw issues.

Navigating Broken Bracket Issues During Braces Treatment:

These orthodontic issues can result in a call or unplanned visit to your orthodontist, considered a “comfort visit.”
