Braces for Kids
Report
These days braces for kids are the norm on playgrounds and in schools.
Frankly speaking, almost all children would benefit from some degree of orthodontic treatment.
For some, it is purely cosmetic.
What child (or adult, for that matter) wouldn't have greater self-esteem with a bright, beautiful smile?
For other kids, teeth problems are more serious.
Poor teeth alignment can cause sleep problems, trouble eating, chronic headaches and gum disease.
Whatever the reasons you are considering braces for your child, you probably have some questions and concerns.

Braces For Adults
Report
The number of adults with braces has risen by 40 percent in the last 10 years, according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
In a 2014 study, the most recent figures available, the AAO reported that more than 1.4 million patients were adults.
Believe it or not, about half of all Dr. McCarthy's adult patients were referred to her by their dentists.
Teeth move and change over time due to wear and tear from biting and chewing.
Gradual bone loss in the jaw can push teeth inwards, crowding them and sometimes affecting the way you speak.

Report
At Shasta Orthodontics, we do not offer removable braces systems like Invisalign.
In my 25+ years as an orthodontist, I have evaluated Invisalign in depth and, more tellingly, I have had many patients who were treated with Invisalign before they visited my office.
I have been consistently disappointed with the results of this kind of orthodontic.
