If you have crooked teeth, you may be considering traditional braces or Invisalign. Conventional braces may be necessary for more dramatic overbites or crowded teeth, but invisible braces may be all it takes if you have milder tooth crowding and extra space or a smaller overbite. An orthodontist can help you choose the option that will get the best results.
Straighter teeth have many benefits:
Healthier Teeth and Gums – Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far apart. Braces can help give you the space to properly care for your teeth. Good oral hygiene reduces plaque buildup thus reducing the chance for tooth decay and gum disease.
Improved Chewing and Speech – Correcting the position of teeth can lead to better placement of the tongue allowing better chewing and speech.
Decreased Risk of Dental Trauma and Abnormal Wear – Properly aligned teeth places them in position to function as nature intended thus relieving pressure on just a few teeth or function that will abnormally wear down a tooth.
Beautiful Smiles – Straighter teeth will make you feel less self-conscious and more confident.
