Sam Dason, DDS - Do You Need Braces?

Your smile can say a lot about you. When meeting new people, applying for a new job or in any other social situation first impressions are influenced greatly by your smile. Crooked teeth, spacing or overcrowding can be unsightly and give the wrong impression of who you really are. Sam Dason DDS can give you the smile that makes you more confident in your life.

Although it is easier to correct teeth with braces at a young age (early teens) great results can be obtained through the use of braces for adults as well. In some instances, a person’s family could not afford braces so they are seeking out this procedure as adults. In addition to straightening your teeth, braces also provide and ensure a correct overbite, enabling you to properly chew your food for digestion.

Braces can be constructed of different types of materials including metal or plastic.  Once your teeth are cleaned and dried, the braces are bound to the teeth with glue. For minor spacing problems in adults, aligners are often used. These are removable, clear braces, usually wore for two weeks. Permanent braces are worn anywhere from 1 to 2 years and follow up wear with retainers.

An article posted on “Know Your Teeth” states: “Your dentist will know what appliance is best for your particular problem, but you often have a choice. Braces generally come in three varieties.  The most popular type are brackets, metal, ceramic or plastic that are bonded to teeth.”
Sam Dason, DDS will ensure your braces are the perfect match and style you desire. He will give you the results that make you shine with confidence. A member of the International Association for Orthodontics since 1998, he is an accomplished dentist who has your best interest at heart.
