How braces from your orthodontist in Louisville, and Frankfort, KY, can give your child a straight, healthy smile.
Did you know that braces can boost your child’s self-esteem? It’s true. In fact, straight teeth and a straight smile can help your child be more self-confident, which adds to your child's self-esteem. A straight smile may also help your child speak more clearly.
Dr. Nancy Shackleton provides a wide range of orthodontic services for people of all ages. She has two convenient office locations in Louisville, and Frankfort, KY.
Braces can help your child in many ways. In fact, braces can:
- Create a more appealing, beautiful smile, so your child will smile more often
- Create a smile that is healthier because it’s easier to keep clean with brushing and flossing
- Help reduce the risk of tooth decay because a straight smile is more decay-resistant
When your child grows into adulthood, a straight smile will also:
- Reduce the risk of gum and periodontal disease
- Reduce tooth wear and jaw stress
- Help prevent jaw and TMJ problems
Braces are an excellent choice to correct an overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite. They can also close gaps between teeth, and straighten crowded, rotated teeth.
Modern braces come in several different options which can be customized with different colors of rubber bands and other kid-friendly options.
You can choose from:
- Conventional metal brackets and wires
- Clear or ceramic brackets and tooth-colored or clear wires
Your child deserves a straight, healthy, beautiful smile and braces can help achieve it. You want your child to have the best, and that means a straight smile.
