It's important to know that orthodontic health is much more than straight teeth. When Drs. Quest and Johnson create beautiful smiles for our patients, they place all the elements
of the face into their perfect alignment for a healthy as well as beautiful
smile. Orthodontic treatment at Quest Johnson Orthodontics also provides many
additional health benefits.
Here are just a few you might not realize:
Prevent TMJ:
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders occur from stress on the jaw joint.
Often, people who suffer from TMJ have an incorrect bite pattern or a
misalignment of their bite. Orthodontic treatment can align the teeth and bite
to remove the stress on the joints that causes TMJ Disorder.
Aid Digestive Health: Perfectly aligned teeth help you chew your food more effectively,
which helps your digestive health.
Avoid Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Crowded and misaligned teeth make it
difficult to clean your teeth and gums, which can lead to food and bacteria
build-up. It's much easier to brush and floss your teeth when they are in
healthy alignment.
Correct some speech impediments: Sometimes when your teeth and joints are misaligned, this
misalignment causes speech impediments. The teeth and tongue are important
tools in our speech process, and it is extremely important that these tools be
in their perfect alignment to speak our best.
