Your dentist may have discussed with you
the benefits of having healthy teeth and proper jaw alignment. Crooked
and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. This can result in
tooth decay, worsen gum disease and lead to tooth loss. Other orthodontic
problems can contribute to 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. These can lead to chronic
headaches and face or neck pain. Treatment by an orthodontist can be
less costly than the additional care required to treat dental problems
arising as a result of orthodontic problems. For most people, a beautiful
smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. After your braces
come off, you'll feel more self-confident.
