But in some instances, even after wearing braces, teeth stubbornly revert back to their original, misaligned positions. When this happens, is a second round of braces able to help? Continue reading to learn more about reasons why a patient might need to wear braces twice, along with some of the advantages offered by the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Would My Child Need Braces a Second Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary reason for children, regardless of their age, needing to wear braces a second time is what\u2019s known as orthodontic relapse. Sometimes, even if braces treatment was successful, teeth can begin moving back out of place after the brackets and wires have been removed. This can happen simply due to aging, or it might result from a child not wearing their retainer as needed following treatment. Bruxism (teeth grinding) also poses a threat to the teeth\u2019s position, as do bad oral habits including nail biting, thumb sucking, and tongue thrust. It\u2019s also possible for physical injuries to move teeth out of ideal alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Benefits Come with Wearing Braces Twice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main benefit to wearing braces a second time is to combat orthodontic relapse; obviously, straighter teeth come with numerous oral health benefits that you should want your child to experience! That said, here are a few other benefits of wearing braces twice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Straighter teeth come with aesthetic benefits; a symmetrical smile is more attractive, and this can boost a child\u2019s self-confidence and set their smile up for future beauty!<\/li><li>If teeth are straight and properly aligned, they encourage proper oral function. Eating, speaking, and other jaw movements aren\u2019t inhibited.<\/li><li>Better dental alignment generally contributes to fewer oral health issues in the future.<\/li><li>As dental technology advances, so do the capabilities of braces and other forms of orthodontics. They\u2019re becoming more comfortable to wear and easier to maintain, making the process much easier for kids entering round two of braces.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child needs to undergo a second round of braces, you should encourage them and remind them that it isn\u2019t their fault\u2014sometimes teeth are stubborn! In any case, knowing why the treatment is necessary and understanding all of its benefits will help both you and your child feel good about their second orthodontic journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Simply Pediatric Dentistry has proudly served the dental needs of the Pelham area for several years, offering a wide range of orthodontic services for children of all ages!
