If you have an adolescent at home who is frustrated by crooked teeth, you\u2019re not alone. Many pre-teens and teenagers start to feel self-conscious about their appearance and are eager to make changes. Thankfully, your pediatric dentist can straighten them with traditional orthodontics<\/a>. This tried-and-true method has a long history of helping people of all ages realign their grins to improve their oral health and enhance their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to be well-informed when you\u2019re making decisions that can permanently alter the state of your child\u2019s smile. You don\u2019t want to take any chances when choosing the right treatment. With that in mind, keep reading to learn 3 facts about braces that you might not already have known!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: They\u2019re Nearly 300 Years Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be surprised to learn that traditional orthodontics have been around for a very long time\u2014nearly 300 years, to be exact! The first set was made in 1728 by a French physician named Pierre Fauchard. This early version consisted of a flat piece of metal attached to patients\u2019 teeth with thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rudimentary prototype was upgraded in 1915 when another dentist (Edward Angle) created brackets out of gold for their malleability. It wasn\u2019t until 1959 that NASA developed nickel-titanium, a heat-resistant metal that dentists learned could be used to make thin, flexible wires that would retain their shape when threaded across braces on people\u2019s pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: They\u2019re A Popular Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your adolescent has avoided braces because they think they\u2019re worried they\u2019ll stand out in a bad way, you can set their mind at ease with this tidbit. Although they have been around for centuries, they\u2019re still a popular treatment in today\u2019s contemporary culture. An estimated 4.8 million Americans are currently wearing traditional orthodontics, and 80% of them are children or teens, and the average age range for them is between 9 and 14 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means plenty of youths have these metallic brackets bonded to their teeth, so your kid is in good company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: They\u2019re Not Magnetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some young people are worried that their braces will set off metal detectors, but that\u2019s fortunately not the case. Many schools today have these in place at their entrances as a safety precaution, and your child might be concerned that they\u2019ll set them off every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, traditional orthodontics are composed of high-grade alloys that don\u2019t exhibit magnetic attraction, so they won\u2019t trigger the alarms. They also won\u2019t pick up on radio signals for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you and your child know more about braces, you can make an educated decision about the best method for realigning their grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
