Is orthodontic treatment just for straightening teeth?

A lot of patients ask us why Dr. Quas, Dr. Wiater and Dr. Kang and our team at The Brace Place work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly-aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier as well? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime!

Straight teeth are also less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque, that sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth. When you visit The Brace Place for your initial consultation, Dr. Quas, Dr. Wiater and Dr. Kang will examine all aspects of your teeth, face, smile, and jaw.

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please give us a call to set up an initial orthodontic consultation at our convenient Bend, Redmond, Prineville, La Pine or Sisters OR office. Dr. Quas, Dr. Wiater and Dr. Kang can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
