October is National Orthodontic Health Month

October not only brings cooling temperatures and falling leaves, but it also brings National Orthodontic Health Month. October is the perfect time for you to consider your options when seeking a straighter and healthier smile. During National Orthodontic Health Month, Kemp Orthodontics makes it a goal to raise awareness about the benefits of braces for children and adults for all our neighbors in the Franklin and Brentwood communities.

The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children age 7 and older be examined by an orthodontist for an orthodontic evaluation. This initial exam provides an early diagnosis and offers treatment options that guide your child’s growth and prevent more serious problems in the future. Kemp Orthodontics’ goal is to reduce treatment time in full braces and to provide the best and most stable results possible.

Since no two patients are alike, there is not a specific age that is best to begin orthodontic treatment. This means teenagers and adults are also strong candidates for orthodontic care. Misalignment of teeth, dysfunctional jaw or bite, and rotation of teeth are just some of the problems that can arise for patients in these age groups. Many adults are hesitant to begin orthodontic treatment for different reasons, but we assure you that we have different types of braces to fit the needs of everyone.
