BENEFITS OF TREATMENT

01

IMPROVED ORAL HEALTH

Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss. That means less plaque buildup, lower risk of cavities and reduced risk of periodontal disease.

Better Bite (Function)

Orthodontics corrects issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite. This can make chewing more efficient, reduce uneven wear on teeth, and help prevent jaw strain or discomfort.

02

JAW AND FACIAL BALANCE

Aligning your teeth and bite can support more balanced facial proportions and jaw positioning, especially if treatment is done during growth years.

03

SPEECH IMPROVEMENT

Certain alignment issues can affect how you form sounds. Correcting them can improve clarity in speech.

04

REDUCED RISK OF INJURY

Teeth that stick out (like protruding front teeth) are more likely to get chipped or damaged. Aligning them lowers that risk.

05

LESS STRAIN ON TEETH AND JAW JOINTS (TMJ)

A misaligned bite can put extra stress on your jaw joints and muscles. Fixing alignment may help reduce tension, headaches, or discomfort.

06

BOOST IN CONFIDENCE

Investing in yourself is important! Patients often feel more comfortable in social and professional settings when they can smile freely with ease.

07

LONG-TERM COST SAVINGS

08

Preventing issues like tooth wear, fractures, or periodontal disease can help you avoid more complex (and expensive) dental work later.

A bold, confident smile is an investment—Dr. Emily wants to make it accessible for all patients. Charlotte Orthodontics offers flexible payment plans and will work with you to find an option that fits your needs. Details are discussed in your complimentary consultation.
