Hygenic Benefits of Straighter Teeth

Healthier Gums:
Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far apart. Properly aligned teeth can help gums “fit” more tightly around them, which may led to better periodontal health.

Easier Cleanings:
With maintenance of good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, or periodontal(gum) disease can be reduced.

Decreased Risk of Abnormal Wear:
Properly aligned teeth can be less stressful on the supporting bone jaw joints.
