Why Straight Teeth are Important
Straight teeth are crucial for more than just a beautiful smile. They improve oral health by making it easier to clean teeth thoroughly, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth also enhance bite function, reducing strain on the jaw and preventing issues like TMJ disorders. Additionally, straight teeth can boost self-esteem and confidence, contributing to overall well-being.
Orthodontic Problems We Address
Common issues addressed in with orthodontics can include:
- Malocclusions: Misalignment of teeth and jaws, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
- Crowded Teeth: When teeth are too close together, leading to overlapping and difficulty in cleaning.
- Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth, often due to missing teeth or space discrepancies.
- Jaw Misalignment: Problems with jaw alignment that can affect biting, chewing, and speech.
- Protruding Teeth: Teeth that stick out, which can be at risk of damage or affect appearance.
