The Benefits of Straight Teeth Go Beyond Cosmetics
Having straight teeth and a healthy smile you are proud of are shown to improve self-esteem and confidence. According to 75 percent of adults in treatment, orthodontic treatment can even improve your career and personal relationships.
But beyond the cosmetic side of things, many adults are realizing just how important straight teeth and an aligned bite are for oral and overall health. Here are just a few of the health benefits orthodontic treatment could provide for you:
- Less plaque and tarter buildup:Â When teeth are crooked and crowded they trap food more easily and are harder to clean. That’s why having straight teeth reduces the risk for tooth decay and gum disease.
- Easier eating:Â Did you know that misaligned or crowded teeth can comprise chewing? It can also cause abnormal tooth enamel wear and increase your risk of cracking or chipping a tooth.
- Less headaches: Jaw misalignment or a poor bite are common contributors to headaches and neck, jaw and face pain, as well as pain associated with TMD.
