Over the past few years, it seems that everyone is either getting or has had braces at one point in their lives. At first, there was a general belief that braces were necessary for many people and were a great way to improve the way their teeth looked. Today, however, there is a debate over the use of braces and whether of not the benefits outweigh the pain and money that go along with them. This guide sheds light on this debate and shows how the use of braces is absolutely a good thing for most that receive them.
The pain and moneyChildren and adults that have ever had braces know that a considerable amount of pain accompanies them. This is caused by the braces pulling teeth into proper alignment. When braces are initially installed, some foods are off limits because of the pain, and most people go with soft foods like yogurt and jello. The pain, however, is usually only temporary, lasting for a few days or or a week. The other negative that people harp on is the cost involved in getting braces. The overall cost is usually around 5 thousand dollars, and insurance may or may not provide partial coverage, depending on the policy.
The benefitsThere are many benefits that come from having braces. The most obvious one is having a bright and straight smile to proudly to show off. Also, straighter teeth are easier to care for and maintain, making it less likely for dental problems to occur down the road. Oral surgery and periodontal care are extremely expensive and painful; these are easily prevented through the use of braces and proper oral hygiene. People who are unwilling to deal with the pain and inconvenience of braces may not understand that this only lasts for a short while after the braces are installed and after they are tightened. The memories of pain and inconvenience fade as one enjoys the benefits of straight teeth and an attractive smile.
Make an appointment with an orthodontist to find out whether or not braces are necessary.All in all, getting braces is an individual choice. For those who feel that they do not need braces, there is no downside to at least consulting with an orthodontist. This is the person who can honestly determine whether or not braces are necessary.
Its not really worth it to repair one crooked teeth. I would say the smartest choice is to repair/ get braces for all your teeth. Because the cost of one tooth would probably be 500 dollars, the cost of your whole mouth is about 4000 dollars.
I don't wear braces, but I really do think its worth it. I mean, it would straighten your teeth, which is important. You don't want to have crooked teeth. Now do you?
