Most people think about teeth straightening Marylebone treatments when they want to improve their smile, but there are far more surprising benefits in opting to wear braces. At Orthodontist London, we are always delighted when patients come in to find out how they can treat their orthodontic problems, for we know that treatment plans with braces will go a long way to helping them achieve better physical health and improve their overall quality of life.
The mouth is the entry way into the body so what occurs in the mouth will invariably have consequences for the rest of the body. In this post, we look at what these consequences are and how teeth straightening Marylebone can help avoid them and keep both dental and physical health in top condition.
Good reasons to opt for teeth straightening Marylebone
Undesirable dental conditions such as crowded teeth and misaligned teeth may ruin the look of a perfect smile, but there are other weightier reasons to treat these oral health issues.
Orthodontic care is the reliable dental solution to treat these conditions and dental practitioners recommend these issues be treated to prevent creating further problems. Oral hygiene can be properly maintained as long as teeth are straight and evenly spaced. It is difficult to reach tight and awkward spaces in the mouth with either the toothbrush or floss thread. When teeth are not thoroughly cleaned, this makes it all the easier for bad bacteria in the mouth to accumulate and take over.
It is when bad bacteria take control of the mouth that dreaded dental diseases like tooth decay and gum disease are more of a threat. But bad oral bacteria can cause more harm deeper in the body as well. These disease-causing pathogens move via the bloodstream into the cardiovascular and respiratory systems where they raise the risk of strokes and heart attacks and inflammatory lung conditions like pneumonia and bronchitis.
By treating orthodontic issues with braces, you can straighten teeth to protect the health of teeth, gums, heart and lungs.
Teeth straightening treatments help protect and strengthen the body in another way. With bad bite situations, eating can be a painful and difficult task. Patients run the risk of not biting or chewing properly which makes the digestive tract work harder to extract nutrients from food properly. Good digestion is crucial for proper nutrient absorption. Lack of good nutrition leads to a weakened immune system and a body that is unable to function as it should.
Teeth straightening has other rewards as well. When you are embarrassed about your smile, it is natural for you to experience low self-esteem. By straightening your smile, you can regain your willingness to smile wide and warm smiles. The boost in confidence is one of the main reasons why adults, in particular, seek orthodontic care.
At Orthodontist London, we have a range of quality teeth straightening treatment plans to give you the stunning smile you are after. Whether you are interested in Invisalign, clear and ceramic braces or traditional metal braces, we offer a professional consultation to help identify the right orthodontic treatment plan for you.
