Now a days, it has expanded its wings from necessity to luxury such that it is used to add cosmetic looks to the teeth with the help of small surgeries or addition of fashionable and trendy braces. Many of the fashion conscious women have started paying huge amounts for teeth straightening. This is a method where the teeth are disarranged of purpose in order to give them a crooked look. For the ones who already have a crooked teeth look are alternatively paying for getting them in a straight line.

To take you by surprise some people are also adopting the 'yaeba' style, also known as the 'double tooth pattern' where they insert an artificial tooth behind the natural ones. The women believe that men get more attracted towards females that have a double tooth. So you see that people are paying anything to experiment with their teeth. Western trends speak of 'gappy teeth' wherein they want to insert gaps in their teeth. All these trends and fad are just about attempting to look younger and resembling the tooth pattern of the youngsters. Whatever it may be, orthodontics has made this experimentation not just possible, but also very successful.

Even for those special Halloween nights, the youngsters approach orthodontists for getting colored tooth in green, red, black, yellow etc. Orthodontics has a good news for the ones wearing braces as there are slim braces available that are not easily noticeable.

Other than the cosmetic trends, health benefits can also not be ignored.

Thus, other than the cosmetic aspect, you must take the help of an expert and professional orthodontic surgeon to get properly aligned teeth and avoid several problems that can occur due to disoriented teeth. Early detection and early treatment will certainly prove less expensive and less painful too.
