Braces are used to straighten teeth that are not in alignment. While braces are often prescribed to children or early teens, adult braces are becoming increasingly common. The signs we look for when considering treatment include crowded and crooked teeth, difficulty flossing, frequent biting of your tongue, and stress or fatigue on your jawline after chewing food.
Often your dentist will let you know if you need braces, that is why going to see your dentist regularly is so important. Your dentist will give you a referral to come and visit us (although you do not need to have a referral to book an appointment). Your Ethos team will then look at your teeth and discuss with you if braces are the best treatment plan for you.
