INTRODUCTION
You can tell a lot about a person by her smile. Lovely smiles show us a gentle spirit, joy in life, and good humor.
The same smile can tell you whether the smiler should have invested in braces.
A mouth full of crooked, crowded, or protruding teeth is more than unattractive. Those pearly whites aren't just jewels. They're tools. Teeth that are not lined up right can cause problems, like:
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Headaches and facial pain
- Problems with the lower jaw
- Teeth that are unevenly worn down
- Self-esteem problems
Braces were once considered to be part of adolescence. No more: About one in five orthodontic patients is over twenty.
How about you? Is your smile revealing the real you? Is it time to straighten your teeth?
