While you may not relish the idea of wearing an appliance on your teeth for an extended period of time, it is hard to argue with the benefits of orthodontic treatment. After all, the adjustment experience can lead to cosmetic smile improvements while also helping you correct problems with your bite. With a better bite, you are less likely to cause wear and tear that hurts certain teeth, and you are not producing stress that can cause TMJ disorder to affect you. Our Temecula, CA dental practice is able to help you show off a straighter smile by providing different options for orthodontic treatment. In addition to conventional metal braces, we can help you make changes discreetly by reviewing your options for clear aligners. (more…)
