What are the benefits of straight teeth?

When you have committed to beginning your journey to a healthier mouth with braces in St. John’s Wood, or if you are still considering the advantages and potential disadvantages that you are faced with, it is good to know why having straight teeth is so important.

Crooked teeth are not only unconsciously judged by others in society, leading people to believe you are less trustworthy, successful and intelligent, but they can also stunt your confidence in yourself.

Aside from social conditioning, an incorrect bite and crooked teeth can cause biting and chewing issues, impair speech, leave you more susceptible to injury during a fall or an accident and can even cause bad breath.

Bad bacteria can build up in hard to reach places between tight spaces and where teeth crossover. This bacteria is one of the leading causes of bad breath and can also accelerate enamel erosion and cause cavities. By straightening your teeth, you are giving yourself and your dentist a better chance at maintaining an appropriate level of oral hygiene.

What kinds of devices are available?

Traditional models consisting of wires and brackets are still in frequent use, although they have been modified to be more efficient, meaning that the average length of time that you may need to wear them has been reduced.

More modern removable devices are extensively used and work to great effect on those who have mild to moderate misalignments. Also 3D scanning technology has allowed clear, removable devices to be easier than ever to create and we are able to show you how your teeth will transform using visual aids.

These 3D scans can digitally pinpoint the correct positioning of each tooth and calculate when  the optimal time to move each tooth is by certain degrees, to provide the best results in the shortest amount of time.

It is just one of the ways that technology is advancing and improving the methods that dentists have traditionally used to alter your smile for the better.

It is an immensely exciting time to be able to enhance your smile quickly and effectively. By speaking with one of our team members today about what options are available to you, you can see for yourself the diverse range of treatment plans that we have on offer.
