Are Braces Right For You?

If you need or are considering braces in Oklahoma City, OK, Dr. Sandra Windsor can provide the information and care you need.

Common Reasons to Get Braces

People get braces for a variety of reasons. Some choose them for cosmetic purposes. Others need them in order to correct or avoid dental issues. The following are some signs that braces might be a good option for you:

  • Your teeth are visibly crooked.
  • You find yourself biting your tongue often when you’re eating.
  • Your teeth do not fit together properly when your mouth is resting.
  • You have a hard time brushing or flossing certain teeth because they are crooked.
  • You notice that your jaw clicks when you wake up or you’re chewing your food.
  • Your jaw feels tired after eating.
  • Your tongue and teeth cause you to have a hard time speaking certain words or pronouncing certain sounds.
  • Your teeth are crowded together in your mouth.

Do I Need Braces?

Sometimes, crooked teeth affect nothing but a person’s appearance. However, many times, they can lead to other issues. For example, they could prevent a person from being able to chew their food properly, or they might prevent proper oral hygiene, which can lead to cavities and more.

The best way to determine if you need braces is to make an appointment with your dentist. Setting up a consultation with Dr. Windsor for braces in Oklahoma City, OK can provide you with the information you need to make the decision.

Choosing Braces

Years ago, there was only one option available if you chose to get braces: clunky metal. Today, there are many different types of braces to choose from, including Invisalign. Not all options are suitable for everyone, however, so it’s important that you consult with your dentist first to understand what suits you best.

To determine if you’re a good candidate for braces in Oklahoma City, OK, and learn what options are available to you, schedule an appointment with Dr. Windsor by calling (405) 741-9000.
