Many consider the beginning of the new year a time to set
personal goals for the upcoming year. How are you planning to improve your
health and happiness in 2013? At Legler Orthodontics, we recommend that you
make a New Year’s resolution to benefit your health!
Although you look forward to having a beautiful smile at the
end of treatment, orthodontic treatment can have a significant positive impact
on your long-term health. Malocclusion
is the technical term we use for crowded, crooked or protruding teeth which do
not fit together. The word Malocclusion, literally means “bad bite.”
Having malocclusion can lead to problems as we age. For
example, crowded teeth can be difficult to clean and you may experience tooth
decay and gum disease. Additionally, a bad-bite may lead to abnormal wear and
breakdown of your teeth, this can damage the bone and soft tissues that support
your teeth.
At Legler Orthodontics we offer complimentary consultations,
so resolve to seek orthodontic treatment in 2013! We know your oral health is
about more than just a beautiful smile.
We would love to hear from you, share with your resolutions
on our Facebook page. Whatever your New Year’s Resolution, we wish you the very
best for 2013.
