Reducing Jaw Stress with Braces

Do you have jaw pain?

Does your jaw pop or crack when opened?

If so, you might need braces. Braces are not just for closing gaps in teeth. Orthodontic care can change jaw alignment and even entire facial structures. If you have crooked teeth, they could be adding to your pain.

Straight teeth have a proper jaw alignment, meaning no underbite or overbite. Crooked teeth can cause underbites and overbites and put unneeded stress on the jaw. This leads to pain, headaches, and sometimes serious problems like joint issues in your jaw. Teeth straightening can fix bite issues such as overbites or underbites that contribute to jaw pain and joint issues.

How Braces Improve Your Smile, and Your Health!

Do you have crooked teeth?

Do they make brushing or flossing hard?

Straight teeth aren’t just aesthetically pleasing! They can actually improve your health in many ways. While teeth straightening can improve self-confidence, it can also help with oral health, jaw problems, and prevent sickness and disease.

A healthy mouth can mean a healthy body too. The mouth is the entrance to the digestive and respiratory systems, so if it’s kept clean, the risk of disease goes down. The bacteria found in crooked teeth can cause pneumonia and kidney disease, and gum disease has even been linked to an increased chance of heart disease.

Braces Facts and Fiction

Do you need orthodontic treatment but you're nervous to take the first step and get a consultation?

Trying to figure out what's the truth vs. fiction about braces?

We can help! 

If you’re considering orthodontic work, make sure you have all the facts! At Stieper & Brust Orthodontics, we work hard to create an environment that makes you feel welcome and at ease. If you’re in need of adult braces in Ann Arbor, we can help put you on the path to straightened teeth and a beautiful smile!

• Myth: orthodontic treatment always takes several years.
• Fact: treatment requires careful, controlled movements of the teeth to ensure they are moving into proper positions. From simple cases (which may take a few months to treat) to the most complex cases (which could take longer), your AAO orthodontist has the training, experience, and skill to deliver an excellent result in the shortest amount of time. It’s not worth the risk to have someone who attempts to do orthodontics as a side business because of the possible irreversible damage that could occur.

• Myth: orthodontic treatment is purely cosmetic.
• Fact: there’s so much more to orthodontic treatment than meets the eye! An improved appearance is the most obvious result. But when teeth and jaws are aligned, it means function (biting, chewing, speaking) is improved too – a dual treatment benefit.

How's Your Oral Health? Read Our Tips:

Have braces or Invisalign? 

Want to make sure you're taking care of your braces the best way possible? Whether you have newer Invisalign technology, or more standard metal braces, you need to do a great job taking care of your oral hygiene. 

Here's our tips: 

Fine-Tune Brushing

You should be spending at least two minutes carefully and thoroughly brushing your teeth after meals and before bedtime when you are wearing braces. You should hold your toothbrush with the bristles toward your gum line and make small circular motions to remove food debris and plaque from your teeth and around your braces. And do not forget to use the rounded tip of the top of the toothbrush to brush the inside surfaces of your upper and lower teeth.

Get An Oral Hygiene Kit

For those times you know you will not be home for several hours, take along a small zippered pouch containing your toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. This way, instead of skipping your oral hygiene routine after eating, you can simply step into the nearest bathroom to brush and floss your teeth.
