Straighter teeth can lead to:
Healthier Gums
- Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss
than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far
apart.
- Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit" tighter
around them (1), which may lead to better periodontal health.
Easier Cleanings
With the maintenance of good oral hygiene, the chances of
having plaque retention, tooth decay, and periodontal (gum)
disease can be reduced.
Improved Chewing and Speech
- In some instances, speech problems may result from poorly
psotioned teeth and jaws.
- Correction of the bite can improve chewing and speech.
Decreased Risk of Trauma and Abnormal Wear
Properly aligned teeth are less stressful on the supporting
bone and jaw joints.
