Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Straighter teeth help prevent food particles from getting trapped between tight spaces, making brushing and flossing more effective.
A corrected bite prevents jaw pain, speech issues, and excessive tooth wear. Misaligned teeth can cause strain on your jaw joints, leading to discomfort, headaches, and even TMJ disorders.
