New Patients Welcome!
Did you know that each year, four million Americans opt to straighten their teeth using braces or clear aligners? Interestingly, about 25% of them are in their thirties. While achieving perfectly straight teeth is a primary motivation for seeking dental treatment, it can also offer numerous additional benefits. Straightening teeth may result in significant advantages such as increased confidence and improved digestion. Curious about what awaits you after completing your dental treatment? Here’s an overview from a dentist highlighting all the major benefits.
DIGESTION AID
Whether your teeth are crooked or you have difficulty chewing, you almost certainly have problems eating food properly. As a result, you may swallow each morsel of food far too quickly, leaving you exhausted well into the night with a painful stomach. Furthermore, as your digestive system works to process the undigested food, acid reflux quickly appears. In order to leave that bleak situation behind, you’ll need orthodontic treatment to straighten and correct your teeth.
IT’S SIMPLER TO KEEP CLEAN
Brushing and flossing might be difficult if your teeth overlap, sit twisted in their sockets, or otherwise don’t line up correctly. After all, it’s near-impossible to get your dental care devices between crooked teeth. It’s feasible to clean all of the surfaces every morning and night, as well as sweep around all of the periodontal pockets, by straightening them out. You can not only prevent tooth decay and cavities but also avoid gum disease with this action.
HELPS WITH SPEAKING
If your teeth are overcrowded, gapped, or protruding, it’s more likely that you’ll have difficulty speaking clearly. It’s probable that certain letter sounds will come out garbled, and some words may be more difficult than they’re worth to pronounce. You can’t speak with confidence in every scenario when you don’t feel like you’re getting your message across and speaking with conviction in all situations. You’ll notice a significant difference in your speech patterns after correcting tooth alignment with braces.
HEAD AND NECK PAIN ARE REDUCED
When your teeth don’t fit properly together, your jawbones are out of alignment as well. This places a lot of strain on your temporomandibular joints while chewing and talking, particularly when you age. Over time, the strain causes discomfort in your head, neck, and even face. Headaches may also become a regular occurrence, leaving you yearning for an immediate cure. Straightening your teeth with braces or Invisalign can give you the comfort you need.
CHIP AND CRACK REDUCTION
Teeth are most durable when they are in good company. With that in mind, it’s only natural that protruding and misaligned teeth have the highest risk of breaks and chips. Then, once the damage occurs, your dental surgeon must act quickly to avoid infection and preserve the rest of your natural tooth structure. By aligning those misaligned teeth before they get worse, you can avoid tooth damage in the first place and save a lot of money on restorations.
TEAR AND WEAR ARE REDUCED
A mouthful of misaligned teeth has to put out twice the amount of effort as a mouthful of correctly positioned teeth in performing their regular activities. Your gums and jaw, like your teeth, suffer from wear and strain as a result of this double burden. If you don’t straighten your teeth before they become severely malformed, you’ll wind up with significant dental problems that will necessitate a lot of restorative work to repair. Do you want to avoid all the drama? To straighten your teeth before too much damage occurs, get braces or clear aligners as soon as possible.
CONFIDENCE BOOSTS
Do misaligned teeth hinder your confidence in showing your smile? Many people with misshapen teeth tend to avoid smiling openly in social situations. They may choose to maintain a neutral expression or cover their smile with their hand. If this resonates with you, it’s time to enhance your self-confidence by achieving straight teeth.
