Having crooked teeth or a bite that is out of alignment comes with many problems that may get in the way of your usual way of life. As well as cosmetic concerns, having crooked teeth actually makes the upkeep of your oral hygiene more difficult. There are therefore lots of reasons why considering braces in Liverpool is a good idea.
Hidden health benefits of having a beautiful smile
The benefits of a beautiful smile with straight teeth aren’t limited to just a confidence boost. Having even teeth makes cleaning the gaps between teeth much easier. This is beneficial because it helps you to clean your teeth more efficiently. With 66% of adults in the UK having visible plaque according to a recent survey, it is important that we stress the importance of keeping up with good oral hygiene.
Plaque is made of bacteria that multiply on the surface of the teeth. The gaps in between the teeth offer a perfect habitat for this kind of bacteria to multiply. When plaque multiplies and is not cleaned off, it can form into tartar, which is a leading cause of gum disease. Plaque can also be the cause of cavities, which will need to be filled before further damage to the tooth occurs.
Help is at hand
Here at Liverpool Smile Studio we offer a range of treatments to remedy problems with crooked teeth. From fixed appliances to more modern removable aligners, whichever fits with your lifestyle. Only a trained professional can advise you appropriately, so if you’re thinking about braces in Liverpool, call us for a consultation with one of our friendly professionals.
Another issue with having teeth that don’t meet when you bite is that more uneven pressure is being applied to your teeth. This can lead to problems such as tooth chipping and in some cases, teeth breaking and needing replacement. Tooth replacement can be an expensive treatment, so it’s best to try to prevent such things happening.
It is no mystery that a straight set of teeth is also more visually appealing. Alongside the advantages in regards to cleaning, you’ll be able to smile more confidently and enjoy a better quality of life.
