Straight teeth help you look your best at job interviews, social gatherings and even smiling to yourself in the mirror. But did you know that orthodontic treatment has more benefits than just a straight, beautiful smile? Braces treat many dental issues, and we’re here to help you see the impact they can have on your smile and your overall oral health.
Cleaner Teeth
Teeth that are crooked or crowded are more difficult to clean. With straight teeth, you will be able to more effectively maintain your teeth, thus avoiding any potential issues that can occur from neglect, such as gum disease.
Jaw Problems
With an unbalanced bite, your jaw could experience issues that lead to pain and soreness. With properly aligned teeth, your bite will be straight and chewing will be normal, making the job easier for your jaw.
Protection for Tooth Enamel
You may not have considered this, but straight teeth actually help protect your teeth’s enamel. With misaligned teeth, your enamel is subjected to abnormal wear that wouldn’t otherwise happen. Because your enamel cannot grow back, it is imperative that you protect it from the outset!
Braces help you receive a beautiful new smile, but braces also treat dental issues. Of course, Invisalign clear aligners are also an effective way to get straight teeth. There are many benefits to having straight teeth, not the least of which is a healthy smile. If you are ready for a new smile and added dental benefits, schedule your appointment at Grosso Orthodontics today! We can’t wait to see you.
