Your Financial Plan: An Investment in Your Health
Orthodontic treatment is an excellent investment in the overall dental, medical, and psychological well being of children and adults!
Dr. Lawrence has had the pleasure of seeing thousands of patients who are thrilled with their results! Your smile is such an important part of your life. Having straight teeth and a beautiful smile is a benefit of braces, and having proper tooth and jaw alignment is the foundation for a lifetime of good dental health.
Orthodontic problems that are left untreated can actually lead to more extensive and expensive dental problems later, as well as a multitude of health problems that are linked to unhealthy teeth and gums. Misaligned teeth are very difficult to clean and wear down unevenly. This can lead to tooth loss, cavities, and gum disease. Medical studies have now linked gum disease to major health conditions. From the American Academy of Periodontology: “Several research studies have associated gum disease with other chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.”
