Happy National Align Your Teeth Day! The benefits of proper tooth alignment go way beyond the esthetic value. 😃
For instance, proper tooth alignment can help prevent tooth decay, premature tooth wear or fracture, as well as decrease the risk of developing gum disease. More properly aligned teeth allow for easier cleansibility and less plaque build up when brushing and flossing. More equally dispersed chewing forces help prevent premature tooth wear and sensitivity along with painful breakage. 🪥
Aligned teeth also benefit our digestive and musculoskeletal systems! With more efficient chewing, we can breakdown our food better which leads to increased nutrient absorption. When our teeth are better aligned, this decreases strain on our joints, muscles, ligaments, and bones. This can help improve conditions such as chronic headaches and TMJD. 💪
When our teeth are properly aligned, it also aids in improved speech and sleep. Aligned teeth allow for correct tongue and lip positioning during speech and sleep - this aids in clear, precise communication and pronunciation of words along with proper tongue posture which improves breathing, jaw development, and sleep. 🥱
We could go on and on about the benefits of tooth alignment and feel so passionately about it that we offer complimentary orthodontic consultations. Whether you’ve had braces in the past and need minor correction through clear aligner therapy or need a more major intervention with one of our orthodontic specialists, we are happy to help guide you through an orthodontic journey to better oral and overall health.
