STRAIGHT TEETH ARE HEALTHIER TEETH

Straight, properly aligned teeth can help you avoid the negative effects of periodontal disease.

 

HEALTHIER GUMS Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss than crowded or crooked teeth. Properly positioned teeth can help gums “fit” more tightly around them, which may lead to better periodontal health.

IMPROVED HYGIENE With good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, and periodontal disease can be reduced.

DECREASED RISK OF ABNORMAL WEAR AND TRAUMA Properly aligned teeth also reduce the risk of expensive procedures required to repair the effects of abnormal force, such as tooth chipping, breaking, or wear; and can be less stressful on the supporting jaw bone and joints.
