How do you straighten crooked teeth? Crooked teeth that are healthy can be straightened with orthodontics. Orthodontists use appliances such as braces to apply gentle, controlled forces to the teeth to move them into better alignment. If orthodontic problems are caught early, an orthodontist may use other appliances that take advantage of the rapid growth that occurs just before puberty. For example, a device called a palatal expander can be used to gently create more space for emerging permanent teeth. Adult orthodontic treatment is also very popular and because of this there are several types of orthodontic appliances that are particularly suited to adults. For example, Invisalign gives adults a more discreet form of orthodontic treatment. If you are interested in straightening teeth for either yourself or your child, a Doc Wellbee dental savings plan can save you money on orthodontic treatments.

After having your teeth straightened, how do you care for them to prevent crooked teeth in the future? Orthodontic treatment times will vary from person to person and also dependent on treatment, but the general time frame for all treatments is usually between six months to three years. After the initial treatment, no matter which type of treatment was used, it is crucial to wear retainers as directed. Retainers help hold your teeth in their new positions, and prevent them from moving back into their old arrangement. If you are worried about the price of these treatments, because they can get expensive, Doc Wellbee will cover between 25%-65% on almost every dental and orthodontic procedure.

Straightened teeth have many more benefits than you might think of. Some people find that their teeth become easier to clean when they are straight because floss can now fit between them easier. Additionally, better tooth alignment will distribute forces evenly whenever you bite down, which can help to prevent jaw pain and headaches. Whatever the reason is, fixing crooked teeth is a good plan, and Doc Wellbee will only make it easier.
