Top five benefits of straighter teeth
Straighter teeth don’t just make your smile look great, they also provide a whole host of other benefits for your health, lifestyle and confidence, which is why we offer Invisalign® invisible braces to our patients. Below are the top five reasons to consider a teeth-straightening treatment for your smile.
1. More Self-Confidence
A desire to boost self-confidence is possibly the most common reason for deciding to undergo a treatment to straighten your teeth. Feeling happier about the appearance of your teeth can improve how you feel in work, at school and in social situations, making improved confidence one of the biggest benefits of straighter teeth.
2. Reduced Risk of Gum Disease
Teeth that overlap can trap food particles which can be difficult to budge and poor dental hygiene can lead to gum disease. A brace like Invisalign® requires regular cleaning, which prompts an improved oral care routine which can be continued after your treatment has finished. This will drastically reduce your risk of gum disease, lower your risk of tooth loss and make your new, straighter teeth easier to brush and floss.
3. Easier Eating
If you have crooked teeth or a crowded mouth, it can compromise your ability to chew your food properly, which in turn can create digestive problems and ruin your enjoyment of your favourite dishes. Straighter teeth means easier chewing, allowing you to tuck and enjoy the foods you love.
4. Clearer Speech
Crooked teeth and over- and under-bites can cause noticeable speech impediments, which can have a significant impact on confidence in work, at school or in social situations. Straighter teeth can improve speech impediments, in turn boosting your confidence.
5. Fewer Headaches
Crowded and crooked teeth wear down unevenly, which puts pressure on your jaw. This can cause chronic headaches which can impact your life dramatically by affecting your ability to concentrate at work or when you are studying, they can even mean you miss out on fun social events.
