What Are the Benefits of Straightening Teeth?
A straight smile can provide you with these benefits:
- Good oral health- Straightening treatment can actually be beneficial to your oral health. When teeth are crooked, they are more likely to attract a build-up of food particles and plaque. Small spaces where the teeth overlap tend to be breeding grounds for bacterial growth. Having straight teeth will minimize hard-to-reach areas making it easier for you to brush and floss.
- Aesthetic- Another benefit to teeth straightening is a beautiful and symmetrical smile. You can feel confident in your smile after treatment, and you can even have a brighter smile because there is a lower risk of staining.
- Easy cleaning- Teeth straightening will actually allow for much easier cleaning. Brushing and flossing every day can be very difficult with crooked teeth.
- Improved speech- Sometimes, teeth can be so crooked or protruding that a person’s ability to speak is affected. There may be issues with the enunciation of certain words. The teeth play a key role in speech, so having them straightened will help improve how a person speaks on a day-to-day basis.
- Better overall health- Straight teeth can improve your ability to chew, and this helps your digestion and overall health.
