Why Do Kids Need Braces? Video 1: How Modern Culture Has Impacted Orthodontic Need
Why Do Kids Need Braces? How Modern Culture Has Impacted Orthodontic Need
Statistics show that an alarming 75% of American children seek orthodontic care, and more than half of those end up in braces. In this first video in our new series, Dr. Jon Caulfield talks about how modern culture has influenced the development of our bone, muscles, jaw and teeth—and discusses natural ways to grow the jaw and bone rather than move teeth.
When most people think of going to the dentist, they picture cleanings, cavities, or maybe a gentle reminder to floss more. But at Epic Dentistry, we look at a whole lot more than just your teeth. That’s because your mouth isn’t just about smiling—it’s the gateway to the rest of your body. The way you breathe, sleep, manage stress, even how you hold your posture... it can all show up in your mouth. And often, your dentist might be the first one to spot it.
Dr. Caulfield’s voice is helping shape the conversation on pediatric sleep health in his latest feature in Sleep Review Magazine.
We hear it all the time: "I left my last dentist because I felt like I was constantly being upsold." And we get it. No one wants to feel like they’re being sold to, especially when it comes to their health. At Epic, our goal is never to "sell" you on anything. Our job is to help you understand what’s going on in your mouth, how it connects to your overall health, and what your options are. From there, you decide what’s right for you.
