Smith Orthodontics

Orthodontics isn't just about straightening teeth; it's about creating harmony between your jaws and facial structure.
Orthodontics plays a crucial role in ensuring not only that teeth are straight, but also that they fit together properly, which can have a big impact on overall facial harmony and function. A well-aligned bite can improve chewing, speech, and even contribute to better long-term oral health. Plus, the aesthetic improvements often lead to a boost in self-confidence. It’s all about achieving a balance that enhances both function and appearance.

It is that time of year again where if you are doing a sport, you need a mouth guard.
Mouth guards can prevent teeth from breaking, fracturing, or being avulsed, and can also protect braces or orthodontic appliances. According to the National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety, athletes are 60 times more likely to damage their teeth without a mouth guard. Schedule an appointment today to get your custom mouthguard made.

Trident also has a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that's known as a "tooth-friendly" sugar. Some orthodontic patients find that chewing gum for a few minutes after an adjustment helps to alleviate discomfort in their jaws and ligaments.

Can my orthodontist tell if I haven't been wearing my rubber bands?
the answer is YES and here is how.
1. You aren't wearing them to your appointment
2. It takes you a long time to put them in
3. You don't remember which teeth to put them on.
4. Your bite has not improved since your last visit
5. Your parents ratted you out.
Wearing your rubber bands is important. If you don't, you will be in braces longer.

Little tidbit of information for you. How many of you knew this?

Do you know why Dr. Smith uses power chain on you sometimes?
Power chains are additional components that the specialist may use with traditional braces to enhance their force. They are connected strings of ligatures or elastics. Power chains work with braces to apply more force, close gaps between the teeth, and increase treatment efficiency considerably.

Are you wanting a soft healthy snack after an adjustment? Try some cheese.
Cheese is great for your teeth. Not only does it have high levels of phosphate and calcium, which naturally strengthen teeth and bones, but it also helps balance the pH level in your mouth, which means less harmful acid, more cleansing saliva and fewer cavities.
