There are a number of benefits to straightening your teeth and these include:

Improved Confidence and Self EsteemImproved Confidence and Self Esteem

One of the main reasons that people look to straighten their teeth is to improve the appearance of their smile. Many people feel the need to hide their mouth with their hands when they smile and laugh, from the embarrassment of wondering what people will think if they see their teeth. Straightening your teeth can be a life changer, helping to improve your confidence and self-esteem, allowing you to achieve things you never thought were possible.

Healthy Gums

If your teeth are crooked or overcrowded, it can be difficult to properly clean them and remove food debris. When food debris is left between teeth, bacteria can thrive irritating your gums and if this is allowed to progress can result in gum disease and tooth decay. By straightening teeth your gums will fit more securely around teeth and you will be able to adopt a normal oral hygiene routine reducing the risk of gum disease and in the long-term tooth loss.

Improved biteImproved bite

Many people with incorrectly aligned teeth may suffer with problems such as difficulty speaking, chewing, problems with their jaw muscles and increased wear, chips and breaks in their tooth enamel. By straightening teeth and properly aligning the bite, it is possible to reduce discomfort and wear caused to your mouth and jaw.

Overall health

Overall healthYour teeth and gums can provide a clear picture of your overall health. If you are taking good care of your teeth and gums, you are probably also taking good care of the rest of you. Bacteria cause tooth decay and gum disease. If left untreated this can cause bleeding gums, bad breath, and possible tooth loss. Studies have shown that oral infections can also lead to more serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, and diabetes. By straightening your teeth, you will have a better chance of reducing oral infections and other potential health problems.
