The thought of having braces may be discouraging. However, if you are like many adults, you’ve probably been dealing with crooked teeth, crowding, or a poorly aligned bite for a majority of your life and these problems raise more than cosmetic concerns.
Crowded or overlapping teeth can be difficult to clean, making tooth decay and gum disease more likely. Teeth that don't come together properly when you close your jaws can cause chewing and swallowing problems. Poor tooth alignment can also make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds and can put excessive stress on your jaw muscles, causing facial pain. Straight teeth are healthy teeth, which can help you avoid tooth loss and dentures later in life.
Why Adult Braces Are So Important
- Straight teeth function better, are easier to clean, and are less likely to get cavities.
- Teeth are crowded or spaced apart can cause tooth decay or gum disease.
- Improperly aligned teeth and jaws are at higher risk for jaw pain, headaches, and migraines.
