Braces are not just for children, adults can wear braces as well to correct their smile.
Adult orthodontics is not purely for aesthetic reasons, it is also necessary for correcting misaligned teeth which are more difficult to clean, making you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease as you get older.
Having orthodontic braces will be one of the best things you can do as you can completely change your smile and get the smile of your dreams. However, they can be problematic at times, especially when they are loose.
But why do braces become loose? And how do you fix them?
Crowded or crooked teeth are most commonly visible when teeth grow twisted, angled or overlap due to not enough room in the mouth. We recommend that this is fixed early as crowding of teeth mostly worsens with age if neglected.
Not only can crowded or crooked teeth lead to a lack of confidence with some people but it can cause several oral and health problems in the long run. This is because it can become hard to clean the teeth thoroughly and food particles can remain stuck in between the teeth. If ignored this may lead to decay and gum diseases.
