When we think of orthodontics, we think of a beautiful smile properly aligned. While it is true that orthodontics can achieve a more aesthetic smile, it is not the only benefit of such a treatment.
In the following, the Dents Mon Quartier team explains the main benefits enjoyed by people undergoing orthodontic treatment!
Orthodontics: a discipline, many solutions
Orthodontics is the branch of modern dentistry dedicated to diagnosing and managing problems of poor teeth and jaw positioning. The dentists at Dents Mon Quartier in LaSalle have undergone numerous orthodontic training and offer modern treatments, which can be useful in correcting several types of problems, including:
- Problems with jaw or teeth alignment;
- Teeth that are crooked, overlapping;
- Teeth that are too spaced;
- Lack of space on the jaws;
- Teeth that deviate from their normal rotation axis or are misplaced;
- Problems with the jaw joints, which are likely to cause pain.
What are the benefits of orthodontics?
Patients who decide to undertake orthodontic treatment to treat one of the above-mentioned problems enjoy many health benefits from their smile, which go far beyond aesthetics! Here are the main ones.
Better aligned teeth for better self-esteem
Orthodontic problems, whether severe or not, can undermine the personal confidence of people who suffer from them. They may be more embarrassed when it comes to showing their smile and connecting with others. Thus, since orthodontic treatments give a more uniform appearance to the smile, they can offer a considerable advantage for social and professional life, helping to increase self-esteem.
A healthier smile
Teeth that are misaligned are generally more difficult to clean effectively when brushing teeth and flossing. This makes them more likely to accumulate plaque and tartar. Thus, orthodontic problems can lead to the formation of tooth decay or gum problems. It will therefore be said that an orthodontic treatment can have a direct impact on a person's level of oral hygiene and on the prevention of oral pathologies.
Also, orthodontic treatments help to rebalance the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. This has a direct effect on preventing premature wear of teeth, which often occurs when teeth are misaligned.
Preventing complications associated with orthodontic problems
Problems with tooth and jaw alignment, when severe, can lead to other problems that can affect general health or well-being: jaw pain, problems with chewing and digestion, speech problems, etc. In this case, following orthodontic treatment isa major help to prevent complications!
