How can you tell if you need braces? Dr. Davillier has a few ways you can tell. Our Suffolk and Virginia Beach offices help hundreds of braces patients each year. One thing to remember is that braces don’t only help kids. We also offer them to teens, adults, and (yes!) even seniors. Braces from Davillier Orthodontics help with all kinds of “malocclusions” (read “bad bites”), which can affect anybody in any age group. Here is the doctor’s list of how to know if you need braces.
See The Signs!
Are braces the best solution for your smile? Let’s look at some of the most common signs that they just might be.
A Crooked Crowd
Do your teeth overlap? Are they turned in the wrong direction? Is keeping them clean a real drag? Crooked or crowded teeth can result in plaque buildup, cavities, and gum issues. Braces create the space your teeth need to get in line and stay that way.
Bites Not Doing Right
If your teeth don’t fit together correctly, it’s hard to chew and talk. It’ll even take a toll on your jaw health. Braces can readjust your bite, so everyday activities are more manageable.
Give Your Teeth Some Space
Gaps between your teeth may make you self-conscious. Plus, food can get stuck there (blek!) Braces gently close these spaces (who doesn’t love a good rhyme?).
A “Jawful” Jam For Your Teeth
Clicking, popping, or discomfort in your jaw? These might indicate that you have malocclusion (“bad bites,” remember?). Braces can help reposition your teeth and jaw. They’ll relieve tension and improve overall function.
Braces’ Brilliant Benefits
Braces get your teeth to fall in line. But that’s not all they do. They can improve your confidence, oral health, and overall quality of life.
Complete Your Confidence
A bright, aligned smile can change your life (Dr. Daviliar has seen it!). Braces help you feel more confident when you smile, laugh, or speak. We love to give our Suffolk and Virginia Beach patients reasons to smile.
Better Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean. And clean teeth have a lower risk of cavities and gum disease. By aligning your teeth, braces create a healthier foundation for your smile that lasts a lifetime.
Enhanced Functionality
Misaligned teeth can make chewing or speaking difficult. Braces correct these issues, improving your bite and making everyday tasks more comfortable. You’ll enjoy eating and talking without worrying about discomfort or misalignment.
Options for Every Lifestyle
Davillier Orthodontics offers solutions that fit your needs and preferences, from metal braces to clear aligners. Whether you want a classic approach or something more discreet, Dr. Davillier has you covered.
The Role of Age in Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your age plays a vital role in the timing and type of treatment that’s right for you. Here’s how braces can help at every stage of life.
Children
Early orthodontic evaluations, recommended by age 7, can catch issues like crowding, bite problems, or jaw misalignment before they worsen. Braces or other treatments during childhood can guide jaw growth, creating space for adult teeth and preventing more complex issues down the road.
Teens
The teenage years are a standard time for braces. Most permanent teeth are in place by this age, making it the ideal time to correct alignment and bite issues. Teens at Davillier Orthodontics can choose from traditional metal braces or clear braces. Need something different? Ask about clear aligners to suit their style and lifestyle.
Adults
It’s never too late to straighten your smile. Many adults opt for orthodontic treatment to fix alignment problems or enhance their appearance. Discreet options like clear braces and aligners make treatment more convenient than ever.
