It may be surprising for some patients to hear that there are many varied reasons for having perfectly aligned teeth that go beyond purely cosmetic ones. Having straighter teeth Wimbledon serves a patient’s well-being in more ways than one, from improving dental health to preserving general physical and mental health. At our Wimbledon Dental Care clinic we received countless visits from patients invested in improving the look of their smiles with straighter teeth Wimbledon. We are absolutely thrilled to play our part in giving patients smiles they have always dreamed of. This delight is increased when patients gain so much more from their straighter teeth Wimbledon: enhanced oral health, boost in self-confidence to advantage of career-building opportunities and resumption of social engagements they were otherwise embarrassed to take part in. What are the other benefits of having perfectly-aligned teeth?
Straighter teeth are better for chewing and biting
Teeth that are in correct alignment perform chewing and biting capabilities much better and without pain or discomfort when doing so. These improved functions also aid in allowing patients to consume a diverse variety of foods they may otherwise have refrained from eating.
Next to this, is the benefit of improved digestion and the absorption of more nutrients. By biting and chewing foods thoroughly, a patient can speed up the digestive process, as the stomach does not have to compensate for poorly chewed food by working harder to process them.
At-home oral hygiene practices are easier to maintain
Patients will find that it is much easier and quicker to keep teeth and gums clean and food-free when they are in alignment. Crooked teeth are a problem to brush and floss because of spaces that are hard to reach.
Speaking patterns can be corrected
Patients may not be aware of this, but straight teeth play a critical role in clear speech. Protruding dental arches or an overcrowded mouth can hinder a patient’s ability to pronounce certain words correctly or clearly, which may affect their confidence to engage with others.
Removes stress on jawbone and eliminates resulting pain
The stress placed on jawbone and jaw joints from misaligned teeth and jaws can result in headaches and neck and facial pain. Seeking dental care to correct these issues provides relief from the discomfort and pain.
Teeth are less likely to fracture or break
Protruding teeth are not only unsightly, they also pose a structural risk. Should a patient fall or receive a knock in the mouth area, teeth that jut out forward are more likely to fracture, chip or break.
You get to smile more
It is quite common for patients with imperfect teeth to hide their smiles out of embarrassment. Smiling has long been associated with happiness and mental wellbeing, which is another great reason to invest in an aesthetically-pleasing smile.
