Modern braces, such as those offered here at Volunteer Orthodontics, are an excellent option for creating a healthier and happier smile. There are more benefits to straightening your teeth than just creating a more confident smile. Straight teeth are easier to clean, which lowers your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. And, by aligning your bite, you can help solve structural problems that create jaw pain and chewing difficulty.
