Why straighten teeth?
Straight teeth help an individual
to effectively bite, chew and speak. Straight teeth contribute to healthy teeth
and gums. Properly aligned teeth and jaws may alleviate or prevent physical
health problems.
It contributes to self-esteem,
self-confidence and self-image - important qualities at every age. A pleasing
appearance is a vital component of self-confidence. A person's self-esteem
often improves as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips and face into
proportion. In this way, orthodontic treatment can benefit social and career
success, as well as improve a person’s general attitude toward life.
You may be surprised to learn
that straight teeth are less prone to decay, gum disease and injury. Straight
teeth collect less plaque, a colorless, sticky film composed of bacteria, food
and saliva. Decay results when the bacteria in plaque feed on carbohydrates
(sugar and starch) we eat or drink to produce acids that can cause cavities.
Plaque can also increase the risk for periodontal (gum) disease. When teeth are
properly aligned, and less plaque collects, these risks decline. And when teeth
are properly aligned it is easier to keep teeth clean. As for injuries to
teeth, protruding upper teeth are more likely to be broken in an accident. When
repositioned and aligned with othim teeth, these teeth are most probably going
to be at a decreased risk for fracture.
Untreated orthodontic problems
may become worse. They may lead to tooth decay, gum disease, destruction of the
bone that holds teeth in place, and chewing and digestive difficulties.
Orthodontic problems can cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient
chewing function, excessive stress on gum tissue and the bone that supports the
teeth, or misalignment of the jaw joints, sometimes leading to chronic
headaches or pain in the face or neck. Treatment by an orthodontist to correct
a problem early may be less costly than the restorative dental care required to
treat more serious problems that can develop in later years.
