Orthodontics have been around for many years, but in recent decades they have evolved considerably. Whether you want to have orthodontics for cosmetic or health reasons, it’s really important to understand that teeth straightening is very important for your health – both oral and general.
At Weybridge Orthodontics, you can find a wide range of orthodontics in Weybridge designed for adults. While these treatments will transform your smile and improve your self-esteem, they will also protect your oral health and help keep your teeth strong and healthy for longer. After all, straight teeth are healthy teeth, provided that you take good care of them.
Straight teeth are less likely to be infected
Misaligned teeth which are overcrowded have many small and deep crevices where bacteria tend to hide. These areas are difficult to reach in your mouth and require specialised care to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Without treatment, these crevices can eventually lead to serious gum disease and even tooth loss. Proper orthodontic treatment with braces or removable aligners can prevent gum disease and tooth decay and keep your oral health in good shape.
Stop bone erosion
Have you ever thought how important your bite is? If your bite is not properly placed on your jawbone, then chances are that you put too much pressure on your jawbone when you bite or chew. Over time, this pressure can lead to serious problems such as headaches and bone erosion. All these problems can be easily prevented with the help of orthodontics in Weybridge.
Improve your speech
Misaligned teeth – whether gapped or overcrowded – can affect your speech in many ways and it’s the main reason some people can’t pronounce certain letters (such as s) properly. Moving your teeth and bite into their right position will improve your speech immensely.
Eat better
Last but not least, misaligned teeth can affect your nutrition and overall health since it may be difficult to bite certain foods and this can lead to digestive problems. By getting orthodontics in Weybridge you will reduce these problems and restore your overall quality of life.
