Aside from the aesthetic reasons for straightening your teeth, having brace treatment can actually prove beneficial to your overall health. This is because improved oral health contributes to better overall physical health.
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons how teeth straightening can improve your health.
Crowded or crooked teeth are most commonly visible when teeth grow twisted, angled or overlap due to not enough room in the mouth. We recommend that this is fixed early as crowding of teeth mostly worsens with age if neglected.
Not only can crowded or crooked teeth lead to a lack of confidence with some people but it can cause several oral and health problems in the long run. This is because it can become hard to clean the teeth thoroughly and food particles can remain stuck in between the teeth. If ignored this may lead to decay and gum diseases.
Overlapping teeth often occurs when the teeth are crowded or misaligned in the mouth. It may not seem like a major issue but if left untreated, overlapping teeth can lead to other oral health problems.
