You have waited long enough to create the smile you want. Adult orthodontic care is more common than it’s ever been.
You can get your smile in line in Powell, TN at My Family Dentistry. Here are four reasons you should call 865-685-9939 to make an appointment with us.
1. More Attractive Smile
One of the main reasons people pursue orthodontic treatment is to improve the appearance of their smile. This can be invaluable for your self-confidence and help you make better first impressions, too.
2. Fix Bite Problems
When your bite is misaligned, it affects your smile. It can also lead to wear and tear on your teeth and jaw problems. Fixing overbites, underbites, and more can improve the function of your teeth.
3. Easier Oral Care
You can brush and floss your teeth more effectively when they aren’t crooked or crowded together. You can reduce wear on your enamel when your bite is in good alignment.
4. Discreet Solutions
Invisalign clear aligners have been around for decades. They were originally designed for adults who wanted something less obvious than braces. This system has improved and expanded so that it is great for teens, too, as an effective yet discreet way to create straight smiles.

One in four adults in the United States has untreated tooth decay, according to the National Institutes of Health. Over the course of the lifetime, more than 90 percent of people will have a cavity.
Knowing this, you should know what to do about tooth decay. Here are three things you can do, including calling 865-685-9939 to make regular appointments at our Powell, TN dental practice.
1. Preventive Care
The best way to deal with tooth decay is to avoid it entirely. A good, consistent oral hygiene routine can go a long way in that regard. Brush your teeth twice daily. Floss every day. And make professional checkups a regular part of your oral care.
2. Tooth Fillings
When you do have a cavity, it’s best to act as soon as possible to treat it. With our composite fillings, you can repair your tooth and maintain the natural look of your smile.
3. Dental Crowns
Should your cavity grow too large for a filling, you can still rebuild your smile and reduce your risk of a return cavity. A dental crown can have your smile looking good again.

To keep your smile, you need healthy teeth and healthy gums.
Gum disease can lead to a variety of problems, including tooth loss. Protect your periodontal tissue with help from our team at My Family Dentistry. Follow the tips below, and call 865-685-9939 to make your next appointment with us.
1. Consistent Daily Care
Healthy smiles require healthy mouths. To maintain your oral health, you need a consistent oral care routine. That means brushing your teeth twice daily for two minutes each time with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
You should also floss between your teeth and gums once per day to remove plaque and food particles in places that your toothbrush doesn’t reach.
2. Regular Checkups
As much as we wish we did, none of us brush and floss perfectly every day. This is why professional cleanings and exams are invaluable for preventing problems like periodontal disease and for identifying when those problems exist.
3. Periodontal Treatment
When you have a gum infection, you need to treat it sooner rather than later. We offer non-surgical gum disease treatment with scaling and root planing and antibacterial rinses. If an infection lead to receding gum, you can repair them with gum graft.
