Why Straighten Teeth?

For many parents, investing in orthodontic care may seem like only a mechanical fix. Straight teeth help an individual to effectively bite, chew and speak. Straight teeth contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Properly aligned teeth and jaws may alleviate or prevent physical health problems.
  However, teeth that work better also tend to look better. An attractive smile is a pleasant “side effect” of orthodontic treatment.
  “Patients finish treatment with a new sense of confidence, feeling like they could conquer the world,” says Dr. Brian Trapnell, owner of Trapnell Orthodontics in Springville. “It’s about more than just chewing your food more effectively. It leads to living life more effectively.”
  An attractive smile is a wonderful asset. It contributes to self-esteem, self-confidence and self-image — important qualities at every age. A pleasing appearance is a vital component of self-confidence. A person’s self-esteem often improves as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips and face into proportion. In this way, orthodontic treatment can benefit social and career success, as well as improve a person’s general attitude toward life.
  “If you’re confident with your smile, you’re going to more easily develop people skills that will benefit your personal and professional life,” says Dr. Chris Trapnell, owner of Trapnell Orthodontics in Spanish Fork.
  There are psychological aspects that are also important. It has been clinically proven that a beautiful smile leads to higher self-esteem. Confidence generates success. People with beautiful smiles have a lot to be happy about.
