Orthodontic care isn’t just for teens—more adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth and invest in their long-term oral health. At Bowe Orthodontics, we work with patients of all ages to create confident, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Here are 7 signs you might benefit from orthodontic treatment:
1. Crowded or Crooked Teeth
If your teeth overlap or twist due to lack of space, it can make brushing and flossing difficult—leading to decay or gum issues.
2. Frequent Jaw Pain or Headaches
An improper bite can place strain on your jaw muscles, causing discomfort or chronic headaches.
3. Gaps Between Teeth
Noticeable spaces between your teeth could affect your bite and leave gums more exposed, increasing risk of inflammation or infection.
4. Overbite or Underbite
When the upper or lower teeth protrude too far, it can impact chewing, speaking, and overall jaw alignment.
5. Shifting Teeth
If your teeth seem to be moving over time, even slightly, it could be a sign that your bite is misaligned or your previous treatment (like a retainer) is no longer effective.
6. Speech Difficulties
Misaligned teeth or jaw issues can affect speech clarity and make certain sounds more difficult to pronounce.
7. Lack of Confidence in Your Smile
Your smile plays a big role in how you present yourself. If you avoid smiling in photos or feel self-conscious about your teeth, orthodontic treatment could make a big difference in your confidence.
