Crooked teeth affect more than the appearance of your smile. They can have a ripple effect on oral health, whole body wellness, and self-esteem. At offices conveniently located in Irving and Plano, TX, Dr. Bindu Kolli provides dental braces to help children and adults feel good about their smiles.
Teeth are meant to be straight for good reasons:
Confidence – Straight teeth give you the self-assurance to smile in social and professional situations.
Orthodontics is an amazing process. Brackets, cemented to the flat surfaces of the teeth, are connected with elastic bands and wires. Dr. Kolli plans their placement precisely to apply specific gentle force. The body senses this pressure on one side of the tooth, stimulating activity at a cellular level. Osteoclasts remove bone at the pressure point, and osteoblasts add bone where the minute gap has formed. It is this gradual process of bone remodeling that allows teeth to be properly repositioned.
At one time our dental culture believed that teeth straightening could only occur before jawbone was fully developed. Today, we know that braces can effectively straighten teeth in adults as well as children.
Patients across the Plano and Frisco area are realizing the convenience of having their general dentist provide dental braces, too. Call 469-535-6939 for an orthodontic consultation with Dr. Kolli at Southfork Dental.
