The Importance of Orthodontics
Oral health is a window into your overall health. Orthodontic problems such as misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing, or shifting jaws, should be taken seriously. If left untreated, they could cause health issues down the line like tooth decay, gum disease, abnormal wearing of tooth enamel, etc.
A few things that orthodontic treatment can do for you is…
- Ensure proper function of teeth
- Create a healthy, attractive smile and facial structure
- Maintain a good bite making it easier to chew and speak
- Avoid tooth decay/loss by making them easier to clean
- Avoid expensive dental procedures that could result from untreated orthodontic issues
