Are you ready to leave crooked, spaced-out, and otherwise misaligned teeth in the past? Fortunately, you have several options, including traditional braces and Invisalign, ensuring that you can have a straight smile even if your case is more severe. By the end of your treatment, you’ll enjoy newfound confidence as well as several health-related benefits, including:

1. Improved Digestion

To put it simply, chewing your food thoroughly aids the digestion process. However, it can be difficult to do that if your upper and lower teeth don’t meet evenly. Fortunately, orthodontic treatment can help! By moving your teeth and bite into proper alignment, your dentist can give you a more aesthetically pleasing smile while also helping prevent indigestion, nutritional deficiencies, and the like.

2. Lower Risk of Decay

When your teeth aren’t properly aligned, the crevices between them can harbor plaque, food particles, and other debris. Not only can this lead to chronic bad breath, but it can also increase your risk of tooth decay as well as other common oral health problems, like gum disease. Fortunately, traditional braces and clear aligners have proven to be effective at correcting overcrowding, overbites, and just about everything in between.

3. Alleviate Jaw Pain

Even mild orthodontic problems can lead to TMJ dysfunction and, in turn, chronic jaw pain. With braces, we can gently and gradually move your teeth and bite into proper alignment, helping alleviate persistent discomfort in the process.

4. Fewer Chips and Cracks

In short, misalignment can lead to premature wear and tear on your teeth. With that comes a higher risk of dental injuries – from minor chips to significant cracks. The solution? Braces! With traditional orthodontics or clear aligners, your dentist can align your teeth and bite, reducing your risk of needing emergency dental care.

Bonus: You’ll Smile More!

If you love your smile, you’re more likely to show it off! This can have a positive impact on your emotional well-being, your immune system, and your stress levels. So, don’t wait – schedule a consultation with your dentist to discuss your orthodontic treatment options today.
