When to seek Orthodontic Treatment?

Maintaining good oral health is essential for your overall health and well-being. However, misaligned teeth can make it difficult to keep your teeth clean, leading to a host of oral health issues.

At Dental Starz, we offer expert orthodontic care in North Lake, IL, to help you achieve a healthier and more beautiful smile. With our cutting-edge technology and personalized treatment plans, you can trust that you’re in good hands with our skilled team.

What Happens if You Delay Orthodontics?

Because there’s a “sweet spot” between ages nine and 14 where it’s easier to adjust problem teeth, it can be a good idea to have our team of orthodontists evaluate you or your child’s need for braces before that point. Delaying orthodontic care doesn’t make your mouth a lost cause, though, and the Dental Starz team has many years of experience with patients of any age. However, delaying orthodontic care can cause bigger, long-term issues that could take more time to treat. Putting off orthodontic care can speed up tooth decay, leading to cavities and toothaches. If left for too long, this decay can lead to the need for root canals and tooth extractions. We believe that prevention is the superior option here, which is why we evaluate all our patients’ orthodontic needs to ensure we keep your healthy, attractive smile intact.
