Some people wonder why we work so hard 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 child's teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your child's chances of keeping his or her own natural teeth for a lifetime. Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque – the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!
If you’re wondering whether your child's teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call at 562-377-1375 to set up a consultation. Dr. Cortez can help you decide whether or not your child will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
