Orthodontics Has Benefits Greater Than Just A Beautiful Straight Smile

When your teeth are crooked or overlap, it becomes harder to properly clean the surface of all of your teeth. Overtime, build-up from food and drinks will lead to cavities and tooth decay. Surrey patients who choose invisalign or standard metal braces to straighten their teeth are increasing their ability to properly clean their teeth. Periodontal disease can lead to possible bone and gum loss as well as loss of teeth.

Teeth that are not aligned properly are called a malocclusion and create negative wear patterns on your teeth. If untreated, malocclusion can lead to teeth being worn poorly over time. That can lead to the need for bonding or veneers. Teeth that improperly line up also create stress on the muscles supporting the jaw, which leads to jaw pain. Malocclusion can also lead to loss of bone and gum support of the teeth, which may result in loss of teeth.
