The Importance of Straight Teeth

The importance of straight teeth goes beyond cosmetics. With straight teeth and a correct bite, each patient has a healthier body and a brighter smile. It has been proven that a healthy mouth aids in the long term maintenance of a healthy body and also prevents infections and other mouth related issues such as periodontal disease and decay. Mouth related problems have also been shown to play a role in both heart disease and diseases of the brain (such as Alzheimers and Dementia). Many adults are unaware that straight teeth result in a healthier bite, gums, and bones. Orthodontics helps to provide more ideal oral infrastructure, thereby making the body healthier from the inside out!
