Benefits of Having Straight Teeth
1. Healthy Gums: Healthy gums are a foundation to a healthy smile internally. The health of your mouth and your body are all connected, and your gums are an essential foundation to your overall health. When your teeth are spaced out or crowded, it is possible for them to become inflamed, which can be a sign of periodontal disease.
2. Easier to Clean: A great benefit of straight teeth is the ease of keeping your teeth clean…which means a healthier smile. Crowded teeth are difficult to brush and floss properly. Improper brushing and flossing can lead to plaque and tooth decay.
3. Better Digestion: Straight teeth are better for chewing. And chewing is the beginning of the food digestion process. When you chew your food more thoroughly, it helps speed up the digestion process.
4. Clearer Speech: Your teeth play an important role in your speech. If you have teeth that are crowded, gapped or protruding from your mouth, it can affect your speaking patterns negatively.
5. Less Tooth Wear: The straighter your teeth are, the less wear and tear you place on your teeth, gums, and jaw. Biting and chewing alone generate quite a bit of pressure. Properly aligned teeth can handle biting and chewing without problems arising. However, those with bite problems end up putting an excessive amount of stress on their teeth. That can lead to notching at the gum line, fractures, and abnormal flattening of the biting surface. Not only does the damage look bad, but it increases your risk of dental disease. This could lead to expensive dental work in the future.
