The Benefit of Braces
Braces are a corrective treatment option for overcrowded or crooked teeth. Braces are a wonderful solution if you are wanting to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Did you know that in addition to giving you a confident, dazzling smile, braces can also improve your overall oral health?
- Improved Digestion – Chewing your food is one of the first steps in the digestion process. Our teeth mash and grind food particles into smaller pieces to make it easier for the digestion process to work more efficiently. Braces close gaps and spaces between the teeth. When our teeth are properly aligned and spaced, we are able to break up food more thoroughly before the food particles pass to the next step in the digestion process.
- Reduce Risk of Chipping and Grinding Teeth – If left unaddressed, persistent grinding of teeth can cause teeth to chip or become loose. By moving teeth into their proper alignment, braces can be a treatment option for the prevention of grinding and chipping of teeth.
- Easier Oral Health Maintenance – Straighter teeth can also help you improve your ability to maintain oral health through brushing and flossing. Regular brushing and flossing can lead to a decreased risk of developing cavities and periodontal disease.

Clear Aligners
When you let us realign your teeth with clear aligner therapy at Innovative Family Dentistry, you’ll appreciate the unique advantages of this option, like:
- Comfort – Avoid the discomfort of abrasive brackets and wires with aligners that feel smooth inside your mouth against your cheeks and lips. The pressure required to move your teeth is also gentler than that of traditional braces.
- Convenience – Instead of restricting certain foods or using special tools to clean your teeth, removable aligners allow you to maintain your usual diet and oral hygiene routines.
- Confidence – Unless you’re in middle school, you probably don’t want to wear metal braces for the next couple of years. Because the aligners are clear, they’re nearly invisible to everyone else, which will help you feel more confident throughout your treatment.
- Speed – Clear aligner therapy is better suited for minor malocclusions and slightly crooked teeth, which is why you’re able to achieve faster results than with normal braces. Patients can usually finish treatment in about a year.
