Rohnert Park Orthodontics - Dr. Wayne Sutton

Most people think the only reason to have orthodontics is to improve the appearance of the smile. Often the primary reason for braces or other, more discreet forms of orthodontics, is an aesthetic one, but there are many other reasons pertaining to health and safety that make orthodontics a good decision.

Many patients often visit our Rohnert Park orthodontic facility thinking that they will have to be fitted with braces. While most orthodontic procedures involve braces, there are several other options available for adults and children that are less obtrusive than metal braces. Younger children can be fitted with devices called arch expanders that, in many cases, eliminate, or greatly reduce the duration, of the need for braces in the future. An alternative to braces for adults involves the use of clear plastic retainers that gently align teeth into proper position. These "invisible" orthodontic devices can improve your smile without braces and usually work for adults with crowding problems.

The proper alignment of one's bite, corrected with braces, or some other form of orthodontics, brings with it many benefits. Teeth are less prone to injuries, trauma and breakage if they are aligned properly instead of sticking out at awkward angles. Cleaning teeth is much easier and more effective when teeth are not crooked and crowded together. Cleaner, healthier teeth and gums are vital to a healthy body. Orthodontics performed for patients in Sonoma, Rohnert Park and surrounding areas helps reduce unnecessary wear on teeth caused by poorly aligned bite. Adults have found that orthodontic correction can prevent or reduce complications with TMJ syndrome. Orthodontics also provide you with a healthy, beautiful smile that others will find attractive and you will find to be a confidence and self-esteem booster, because when you look good, you feel better.
