Should I get braces? Reasons to consider!
Straighter teeth are more effective in chewing, biting, and speaking than crooked teeth. A straight grin also promotes confidence, is more aesthetically pleasing, and can help prevent several dental problems.
Overbite, underbite, crossbite, and overcrowding are some of the different kinds of malocclusion. Each of these alignment issues harms the teeth' functionality and look.
Here's a rundown of some of the most common problems caused by misaligned teeth:
A bacterial infection causes periodontitis or gum disease. Inadequate oral hygiene is the source of bacterial infection. Because crooked teeth are difficult to clean efficiently, debris, plaque, and bacteria accumulate in hard-to-reach regions. Straight teeth are easy to keep clean and have a lower risk of gum disease.
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMJ):
Crooked teeth can induce TMJ, a painful disorder caused by poor jaw alignment. This terrible illness is characterized by severe headaches, jaw pain, lockjaw, and teeth grinding.
Teeth that are straight from a robust wall, making injuries less likely. Crooked teeth are weaker and more likely to protrude, making them significantly more vulnerable to damage from the outside world
When biting and chewing, crooked teeth make certain teeth work harder than others. Straight teeth distribute the stress more evenly, reducing the risk of damage and improving aesthetics.
Orthodontic braces or custom aligning trays can be used to straighten teeth. Orthodontic braces are typically placed on the teeth for a specific amount of time. The orthodontist tightens the brackets and arch wires regularly and removes them after the therapy is finished. Fixed braces are helpful for most malocclusions and can be placed on the front or rear of the teeth.
Aligning trays are entirely detachable and utilized when the malocclusion is not severe, and the teeth just need to move a limited distance. For the length of the therapy, these trays are replaced every few weeks and have proven to be as successful at straightening teeth.
