October is known for cooler weather, pumpkin patches, and Halloween, but did you know it’s also National Orthodontic Health Month? This month celebrates the important role that orthodontics plays in improving both oral and mental health. While straightening your teeth may seem like a minor concern, the benefits can have a significant impact on your future well-being.
Dr. Chris Teeters, and Dr. Larry Davis at Affiliated Orthodontics are highly trained experts in tooth alignment and general dentistry. To become an orthodontist, they must undergo additional residency programs that can take up to three years to specialize in orthodontia and occlusion. They also attend conferences and continuing education courses to keep up with the latest technologies and techniques to provide the best possible care to patients.
Orthodontic treatment can correct a range of issues, including crooked bites, underbites, overbites, crossbites, jaw issues, and misalignment. By seeing an orthodontist, you can receive an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan to improve not only your physical health but also your self-confidence and image.
If you have questions about specific issues or your own case, our offices are here to help. We’re committed to providing the best possible experience and treatment to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Let’s celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month together!
