Why Are Straight Teeth Important?

Many patients focus on the aesthetic aspect of straight teeth, and that’s very important. A well-aligned, attractive smile can give you confidence and improve your overall appearance. However, beauty isn’t the only benefit when it comes to straight teeth. Patients can experience oral health benefits as well.
Since straight teeth are easier to clean than crooked teeth, your brushing and flossing routine may become easier and more efficient after your Invisalign treatment, creating cleaner teeth and gums. With improved oral hygiene, you can better prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Additionally, crooked teeth may cause bite misalignment, leading to TMJ pain, worn teeth, and other oral health issues. When we straighten your teeth and correct your bite, your mouth and jaw should function more fluidly, so you can live pain-free and take fewer trips to the dentist.
