So, what are the benefits of having straighter teeth?

As well as giving you a confident smile it also helps

• Helps with cleaning

Good oral hygiene involves brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. If your teeth overlap or are crooked your hygiene routine may not be as effective as it should be. It can be difficult to get dental floss between and around crooked teeth. Teeth which are overlapping or crooked are difficult for you to reach with your toothbrush. By not cleaning your teeth properly then your risk of tooth decay and gum disease is greatly increased. By straightening your teeth, it makes it easier for you to maintain a good level of oral health.

• Risk of gum disease

Gums that are red and swollen may be the cause of teeth that are overcrowded or gapped. Gums don’t fit as well around teeth which are misaligned. Food and bacteria can get lodged in the gum tissue, cause infections and can lead to tooth loss. Healthy gums hug straight teeth closely. This helps prevent  infections and because teeth are held in place more securely, people with straight teeth are less vulnerable to tooth loss.

• Improves digestion

You probably wouldn’t visit your dentist with severe stomach cramps but if you’re experiencing digestive problems, then it could  be your teeth that are causing the problem. Crooked teeth and bad bites can make it harder for you to chew your food completely. As a result you may be swallowing large pieces of food or food which hasn’t been sufficiently broken down by the saliva in your mouth. With Anthony Inman, our Bournemouth dentist, straightening your teeth it may  put an end to your stomach problems.
