We all know our bodies change as time passes. Besides a few gray hairs and maybe some wrinkles, you might also notice subtle differences with the positioning of your teeth. Although minor shifting may not seem concerning, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. It’s best to visit your orthodontist to find out why your teeth are moving, and what can be done to stop it. Often, your orthodontist can move your teeth back into position with braces or clear aligners.
You have made the choice to invest in your child’s confidence and their oral health with braces. That is great!
