The Benefits of Having Straighter Teeth
If you think your eyes are the first thing people notice about you, it’s actually your smile. Whether it’s someone walking down the street or a potential employer, your smile says a lot about you, which means it’s important to maintain good oral health. Apart from maintaining a smile that is free of cavities and gum disease, it should also display teeth that are straight and in ideal alignment.
If you’re wondering why it’s important to have straighter teeth, here are a few reasons:
- They’re easier to keep clean: When your teeth are crooked or misaligned, it’s easier for food and bacteria to become trapped, making them harder to clean. Straighter teeth make it easy to floss between and clean around, eliminating the potential for tooth decay.
- They offer a more aesthetically pleasing appearance: Going for a job interview? Expect that the interviewer will take notice of your smile in the beginning. If it appears healthy, it shows that you take pride in your appearance and overall health.
- It lessens the chances of you developing systemic problems: A healthier mouth means a healthier body, so if your teeth are straight and you’re keeping them clean, you’ll be less likely to develop problems with your heart, brain, or other vital areas.
- It means more money in your pocket: If you want to stay out of the dentist chair or avoid spending thousands of dollars on extensive dental surgeries, you’ll make sure your teeth and bite are in alignment.
Now that you know why it’s important to keep your teeth straight, here are some ways you can make it happen:
Invisalign
This method of teeth straightening offers adults and older teens an alternative that uses clear, plastic aligners to achieve desired results. If you want a more discreet form of treatment, Invisalign might just be right for you. Not only will your treatment be faster, but you’ll continue enjoying your favorite foods while maintaining a natural look. Just swap out your custom-made aligners every two weeks and watch as your teeth gently shift in the right direction. There are no harsh brackets or wires and no frequent visits to the cosmetic dentist for wire tightening, just a smoother, more discreet way to straighten your teeth.
Clear Aligners
If you have more serious alignment issues that cannot be resolved with Invisalign, you may still be able to benefit from clear aligner technology. Dr. Shah may recommend Candid clear aligners, which are plastic trays that blend in seamlessly with your teeth while gently moving them into the desired position. As a result, you can achieve the results you want without drawing unwanted attention to your smile during treatment.
