Myths about teenage orthodontic treatments
There are some common myths surrounding teenage orthodontic treatments. One myth is that braces are only necessary for aesthetic purposes, when in fact, they can also correct functional issues and improve oral health.
Another myth is that braces are painful, but advancements in orthodontic technology have made the process much more comfortable. Some people believe that orthodontic treatment is only effective during early adolescence, but it can be successful at any age.
Lastly, there is a misconception that orthodontic treatment is purely cosmetic and unnecessary, but it can address bite problems and alignment issues that can impact oral health in the long run.
