Orthodontics
People of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment. Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked or misaligned, orthodontic treatment improves not only your smile, but also your oral health. Straight, aligned teeth are easier to clean and are less likely to develop cavities. In addition, protruding teeth can be prone to chipping or even breakage and crowded or crooked teeth are harder to clean, making them more prone to cavity development and gum disease.
You may also consider orthodontics if the position of your teeth affects your bite. Even if you’ve adapted, a bad bite hinders chewing certain foods and can lead to wear and tear. But by fixing a bad bite, you improve both your smile and your overall oral health.
