Great Reasons to Get Braces

5th August 2021

braces

Braces may be recommended to straighten teeth, even if alignment is only slightly off. Your dentist can discuss with you the different options available for braces, including clear aligners.

Key takeaways:

  • Correctly aligned teeth help prevent problems such as tooth sensitivity as well as jaw pain. 
  • Aligning your teeth using braces can make you feel more confident in having an attractive smile.
  • Crooked or crowded teeth can be harder to clean thoroughly, increasing the risk of oral health problems; straight teeth will help solve that problem.

“Teeth that are in alignment put proper chewing forces across your teeth, which allow your teeth to wear down evenly and naturally, which can prevent problems such as tooth sensitivity and discoloration over time.”
