Check out the many benefits of straightening out your smile!

Oral Health

When your teeth are straight, your smile is easier to maintain. Our mouths are filled with bacteria, so proper flossing and brushing is an essential part of cleaning our teeth and gums. Crooked or overcrowded teeth make these processes less efficient. When bacteria remains in the mouth too long, it leaves us at risk of periodontal disease.  

Digestion

Have you ever struggled with digestion issues? The pain can be excruciating, and strangely enough, the problems might be starting at your teeth.

Crooked or crowded teeth can make eating laborious. The extra exertion it takes to eat can lead to a tender jaw. Straight teeth are optimal for chewing because they can tear food into the tiny pieces crooked teeth and a sore jaw can’t. The more chewed up your food is, the more smoothly it will pass through your body.  

Happiness

Because perfectly straight smiles have infiltrated our media, many people feel ashamed when their smiles don’t measure up. When a person lacks confidence in their smile, they smile less.  Don’t let crooked teeth get you down! Your mental health is equally as important as your physical health. In fact, smiling releases endorphins in your brain that actively make you happier!
