Better Brushing
Overlapping teeth can trap food particles. Straight teeth allow for easier brushing and flossing.
Clear Speech
Crooked teeth cause many speech impediments. Confidence may suffer and school/work performance may be impacted.
Easier Eating
Crooked, crowded teeth compromise chewing. Digestive problems can result.
Less Accident-Prone Teeth
Protruding teeth are more prone to breaking. Protective mouthguards may not fit properly.
Fewer Headaches
Crowded teeth wear unevenly. Uneven wear puts pressure on jaw, resulting in chronic headaches.
Improve Gum Health
Better oral hygiene means less tooth decay. Tooth decay and gum disease are linked to heart disease and high blood sugar.
Cost Effective Dental Care
Fewer severe dental health issues with straight teeth. Fewer issues means less expensive treatment.
Lower Risk of Soft Tissue Injury
Crooked teeth can push against soft tissues in mouth. Cuts, sores and infections can result in uneven teeth.
Increases Self-Esteem
One of the biggest benefits of straight teeth. More confidence at work or school and in social situations.
