There are many different types of bite issues, extending from an underbite to an overbite or crossbite. If a patient has a bite imperfection, then he or she may be experiencing excessive wear on the surrounding teeth. If an individual does not fix a bite with braces, then he or she can experience permanent damage to the teeth and the potential to develop a temporomandibular joint disorder.
Instead of paying thousands of dollars in dental restorations in the future, spend less now to fix one's bite. By doing so, people can also improve the health of their jaw and surrounding teeth.
People with crowded, crooked, or out-of-place teeth are inadvertently putting extra stress on the gums. With these types of problems, it is harder to floss and brush properly. This leads to plaque and tartar (a harder form of plaque) building up under the gum line. The persistent presence of tartar leads to bad bacteria growth and gum inflammation in response. When this problem is not treated, chronic gum inflammation leads to bleeding, red, and irritated gums.
It can also turn into severe gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can be detrimental to the dental bone structure, causing tooth loss and jawbone malformations. It is also immensely painful when left untreated. Braces can prevent gum disease and gum irritation from developing.
Crooked teeth lead to hard-to-reach places. This leads to decay. When plaque and bacteria cause eroding and thin enamel, the tooth is left vulnerable. If an individual already has some decay, then we must remove it and repair any damage before placing braces.
Once we straighten the teeth, then the patient will be able to reach every crevice to clean the teeth more thoroughly. The patient will also notice less tenderness and sensitivity to hot and cold due to decay.
People who have out-of-place teeth are more at risk for breakage, especially if they play contact sports or lead an active lifestyle. Straightening teeth will move them into a safer place where they do not stick out and become the victim of blunt force. Straighter teeth will also allow people to wear proper protective mouth guards more comfortably and securely.
