Whilst it is true that Orthodontic treatment is mainly about aesthetics and helping you to have great looking teeth and a fantastic smile, there are also benefits to your general oral health.
Teeth that are correctly aligned will be much easier to brush and floss effectively. There are other factors also, If you have uneven teeth you are likely to use certain teeth more than others for biting and chewing. Correctly aligned teeth tend to be used more evenly. This reduces stress on certain areas of your mouth.
Having nice straight teeth and following a great oral hygiene plan can help you avoid all kinds of oral problems in the future such as gum disease, cavities and even tooth loss.
