Why Straighten Teeth?

The reasons people choose to straighten teeth can vary as much as patients themselves. Many people choose to implement braces or other tools to straighten teeth for aesthetic reasons, and straight white teeth normally improves appearance and gives patients more confidence. However, apart from looking great, there are some very practical reasons why people choose to have orthodontics. This includes:

• Hygiene - Crooked or overlapping teeth are harder to clean and may bring on conditions such as bad breath, gum disease or worse.
• Gum Damage - In severe circumstances, misaligned jaws and teeth can lead to gum damage eventually resulting in pain or loss of teeth.
• Jaw Joint Problems - Badly overlapping jaws can sometimes cause pain or discomfort in the jaw joint.
• Speech - Some people develop speech impediments or have difficulty speaking due to misaligned teeth and jaws.
• Snoring, Sleep Apnea and Breathing Problems - Misaligned teeth and jaws often cause sleep problems, and therefore corrective procedures are necessary.
