Having a set of straight teeth gives you more than just a confident smile. Our orthodontist talks about the benefits
Why should I see an orthodontist?
Orthodontics focuses on alignment of the teeth and jaws. If your teeth are crowded and difficult to clean, having well-aligned teeth can significantly improve oral hygiene and maintenance, as well as prevent tooth decay and gum infection. Misaligned teeth can also result in cheek or lip-biting and difficulty in chewing. Protruding teeth also affect your lips from closing – in children, the risk of injuring their teeth in this instance is higher. If there are wide spaces between your teeth, closing the gaps can prevent food from getting trapped and help you avoid excessive saliva build-up when talking. Beyond providing straighter teeth for a better smile, orthodontic treatment actually improves oral health and dental functionality.
