The Health Benefits of Teeth Straightening: How a Straighter Smile Improves Oral Health

A straight, beautiful smile is not only an aesthetic goal; it plays a major role in your overall oral health as well. If you have crooked teeth, at Eccleshill Dental Bradford we have teeth straightening options available to get you on the road to a healthier, beautiful smile. But how does this prescribing of dental straightening improve your oral health? Let’s explore!

Why Teeth Straightening Matters

Most people believe that teeth straightening is only for visual appeal. Still, well-aligned teeth are key to avoiding oral health problems like cavities, gum disease and jaw pain. Fun Fact: The American Dental Association even found that crooked teeth can cause an increased risk of plaque build ups and dental decay.

• Simplified Cleaning and Lower Risk of Cavity

Crooked or crowded teeth leave tight spaces that are hard to keep clean and cause plaque to build up, increasing the risk of cavities. The alignment of your teeth ensures you can effectively brush and floss.

• Lower Risk of Gum Disease

This makes gum disease more common, and gum disease occurs when bacteria builds up on the teeth and causes inflammation. Straightening the teeth minimises inflammation and the accumulation of harmful bacteria, resulting in less likely cases of gingivitis and periodontitis.

• Better Chewing and Digestion

Misaligned teeth can lead to chewing difficulty, further leading to indigestion problems. Having straight teeth also makes it easier to break food down and process food more optimally, which in turn helps improve overall digestive health.

• Less Jaw Pain and Headaches

When your teeth are not positioned correctly, it can cause your bite to be misaligned, causing strain on the jaw and recurrent headaches. Dental straightening options will assist with closing gaps, protecting the jaw from excessive stresses and helping prevent TMJ (temporomandibular joint) conditions.

• Reduced Risk of Tooth Erosion and Fractures

If teeth are not properly aligned, some teeth sit under more pressure than others causing excessive wear, cracks or fracture. The options to straighten teeth help distribute the pressure of the bite evenly, leading to a lesser chance of long-lasting damage.
