Crooked Teeth Impact the Health of Your Heart and Lungs
Did you know that poor oral health may put you at risk for issues with the heart and lungs? Crooked teeth are more difficult to clean and as a result, this build-up of plaque causes gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease and infections of the lungs.
Straight teeth are easier to keep clean, so it’s to your advantage to get braces.
Key takeaways:
– Dentists can effectively clean your teeth and gums to prevent gum disease infection.
– Braces can now be placed behind the teeth (lingual braces) to straighten teeth
– Removable aligners are another option that have become increasingly popular.
“Crooked teeth can be hereditary, where insufficient space in the jaws for the full complement of teeth is genetic.”
