Enhancement of aesthetic appearance is just one of the many reasons many people go for orthodontic treatments in Croydon. Orthodontics correct tooth gaps, crooked teeth and misaligned jaw. While that results in a much better smile, it also improves your overall oral health.
Here are some more benefits of orthodontics.
You fix bite problems
Bite Problems such as overbites, underbites, and open bites may sound like they are nothing serious, but what you do not know is it can cause serious problems when it comes to talking and eating. This is because it is extra difficult or, in some cases, impossible to completely bite down.
Prevent tooth decay and gum diseases from developing
Crooked teeth are more difficult to clean because the tiny gaps found between the gum tissue and teeth can trap plaque and tartar, which can potentially lead to tooth decay or a form of gum disease when left untreated.
After completing an orthodontic treatment, you will find that the tiny gaps that used to trap tartar have finally closed, reducing your risk of developing gum diseases and the possibility of losing a tooth.
Get relief from TMJ disorder
Patients with temporomandibular joint and muscle (TMJ) disorders often find relief from the pain through an orthodontic treatment because it corrects the positioning of the jaw to stop the popping sound that occurs each time they open or close their mouths.
This way, TMJ will not cause irritation to the joint that connects the upper and lower jaw.
Decrease wear and prevent jaw-point problems
Patients with misaligned teeth are more prone to excessive wear of the teeth because of their irregular bite. This can create spots that are susceptible to decay and damage. Orthodontics prevents such problems so patients can experience normal teeth wear.
Boost Your Confidence
Finally, there is not a single person who is proud of his or her crooked teeth. Individuals with such a problem tend to be shy because they avoid talking to people as much as possible to hide the condition of their teeth.
Orthodontics can help boost anybody’s confidence by bestowing the gift of a brilliant smile.
