DR. DIPILLA IS NOW Did you know the benefits of straight teeth reach far beyond having a beautiful smile? Crowded teeth are much more difficult to clean, which can lead to swollen gums and bone loss. When teeth are in proper alignment, our gums adapt to the teeth much better, giving the best defense to periodontal disease and decay. Open space between teeth is also an issue, which can leads to food trap and possible decay.
Beyond decay and periodontal disease, poorly aligned teeth can be the culprit of a destructive bite, causing teeth to become mobile, lose enamel and even cause bone loss. This can lead to night grinding, headaches and muscle soreness in the head and neck. The benefits of having a beautiful smile include increased oral health, which in turn effects your overall well-being.
