Beyond Braces: How Straight Teeth Helps In The Long Run

A question that many people ask before deciding to take the final step
towards braces is if they are needed or really that important. We’re
all aware that braces straighten teeth, but are they as beneficial as
people make them seem? The answer is yes. Not only do braces straighten
teeth for a more beautiful smile, but they do much more than that. At Speak
Orthodontics, we ensure our patients are well-informed about all of the benefits of
braces so that they can rest assured that they are making the best choice
for their dental health.

How Do Braces Affect Oral Health?

As previously mentioned, braces are essential in a multitude of ways. One
of the most critical uses is improving dental health by correcting alignment
and making sure all teeth are evenly spaced along the gums. When the teeth
are adjusted, the amount of pain that could be experienced by crooked
teeth is drastically decreased. Also, straight teeth are easier to clean
and have a lower chance of developing disease and decay, as well as directly
impact breath freshness.

How Else Do Braces Affect You?

Of course, your oral health is important, but so is your mental health
and feeling confident cosmetically! In a world where we are visually-inclined,
and there is a significant focus on personal appearance, having straight
teeth can be beneficial cosmetically. When you meet new people, go to
an interview, or greet bypassers on the street, it’s a great feeling
to have a beautiful smile that compliments your charming personality.
The more inclined you are to smile, the happier you will be!

Giles C.
Dr. Speaks and his team provided an excellent experience and consultative approach to aligner treatment — they were transparent all the way through and a pleasure to work with / very knowledgable. The results look amazing, I met with several orthodontists in the area prior to starting treatment and Speaks seemed like they do the best work while also being very experienced to ensure the very best outcome. Five stars!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with Dr. Speaks and our team. Your satisfaction and amazing results are our top priorities. We appreciate your trust in us!
Tom G.
I can't say enough good things about Dr Speaks and his staff. As an adult, I wasn't thrilled at the idea of doing aligners to straighten my smile. However, my experience with this practice made it as painless and efficient as possible. Dr Speaks got my teeth looking better than I could have imagined way quicker than I anticipated. Additionally, they operate like a well oiled machine. My appointments always started on time and they consistently had me in and out the door in no more than about 10 minutes per visit. I can't imagine having had a better experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with Dr. Speaks and our team exceeded your expectations. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us!
Rebecca N.
Dr Speaks and his team have to be one of the best family ortho teams in the state! We are so happy we found them after reading other people’s reviews, and they did not disappoint. We drive 2 hours each way from the mountains of Colorado to be treated by Dr Speaks. He is very knowledgeable, caring and took great care of my 13 year old for the past two years. She now has the most beautiful set of teeth and she cannot stop smiling! Now our 9 yr old is under Speaks care and we can’t wait for her perfect set of teeth to start forming too. I’d give them 10 stars if I could and highly recommend this crew.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Rebecca! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family have had such positive experiences with Dr. Speaks and our team. Your satisfaction means the world to us!
Adisa R.
Dr.Speaks and the team at Speaks Orthodontics are absolutely amazing! Their service is incredible, they provide person centered individualized plan of care for patients. They are experts! I am very pleased and beyond grateful for my new smile. Look no further and contact Speaks Orthodontics. Forever grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Adisa! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction and new smile mean the world to us. We look forward to continuing to serve you!
Eri I.
I'm incredibly thankful for Dr. Speaks and team for taking care of me in my invisalign journey. They were professional, precise, and majorly supportive even when I wasn't the easiest patient (traveling, and not wearing my aligners enough, causing extra work on their side).

If you are looking for braces or invisalign, look no further. These guys ROCK!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Speaks and the team. Your journey is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in our care.
