We all think about alignment as a cosmetic concern, but have you thought about the lasting health implications of an imbalanced bite? When your teeth crowd and overlap, they create areas that can be nearly impossible for you to adequately brush and floss. These spots can be prime locations for cavities. Tooth decay can become a serious issue and further decrease the quality of your smile.

Bacteria Build Colonies Where Your Teeth Crowd
When your teeth overlap and crowd one another, there can be places that are difficult for you to adequately brush and floss. Even if you are trying your best, you might fail to protect yourself from tooth decay. Problem cavities can gradually become more severe, eventually becoming so deep that they progress through your enamel. This can lead to a painful infection of the tooth, and so it is vital to address alignment concerns before internal infection occurs.
An imbalanced smile can also lead to overuse at certain points. These areas suffer enamel erosion that can also lead to problems both cosmetically and to the lasting health of the teeth. If this erosion continues, it may also expose the vulnerable dentin beneath. This material is more porous and softer than enamel.
Orthodontic Treatment Can Help Your Smile Succeed
Depending upon your specific orthodontic needs, your care provider might suggest different methods. Traditional braces adjust your teeth through brackets on the enamel. We have tooth-colored brackets available in order to keep your treatment discreet.
Clear aligners are another way of adjusting the location of your teeth. These are nearly invisible trays that gradually shift the placement of your smile. Speak with us about all of your options and discover why alignment treatment is more accessible now than ever!
