Why You Should Consider Straightening Your Teeth

Living with teeth that are crooked, overlapped, or unevenly spaced can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. It's hard to live your best life when you're worried about what other people think of your teeth.

Even if you've grown used to smiling with crooked teeth, there are actually several ways that they also impact your dental health. Brushing and flossing crooked or rotated teeth is much harder, and can result in an increased risk of developing problems like gum disease or tooth decay if you can't keep them clean.

A misaligned bite can also cause problems for your jaw joint that can result in difficulties or pain when chewing, headaches or migraines, and even neck and shoulder tenderness.

Straightening your teeth not only gives you the beautiful smile you've always wanted but also helps to protect your dental health.

Invisible Braces in Fairfax Make Straightening Your Teeth Simple
