While most people view braces or aligners as a way to improve their smile, the benefits of straight teeth go beyond aesthetics. Having properly aligned teeth can significantly impact your overall health, reducing the risk of certain medical conditions. Even with great dental hygiene, straightening your teeth with braces or Invisalign can enhance both your smile and your health. Here’s how straight teeth can benefit your well-being from to Dr. Amir Davoody at Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics:
Better oral hygiene and fewer dental issues: Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and tooth decay. Straightening your teeth makes brushing and flossing more effective, reducing the risk of cavities and keeping your teeth healthier.
Lower risk of gum disease: Misaligned teeth increase the likelihood of gum disease, as it’s harder to keep them clean. Straightening your teeth can reduce this risk, allowing for better oral care and long-term gum health.
Enhanced digestion: Properly aligned teeth can improve how food is chewed, making it easier for your body to digest and absorb nutrients. Misaligned teeth can interfere with this process, leading to indigestion and other digestive problems.
