For those of us who missed the chance to straighten our teeth as children, the thought of adult straightening can be super daunting. Having braces at any age feels like a big step but having them as an adult is more than this\u2026 it\u2019s a faff. Who wants to spend time cleaning retainers or running to the bathroom to remove them before lunchtime\u2026 FAFF. However, we at The Dental Studio<\/strong> believe that straightening your teeth could end up doing far more for your health than you realise and if you had all the information you could be a little bit more keen to get on the orthodontics in Colchester<\/a> hype.\"orthodontics-in-colchester\"<\/p>\n

What Are Orthodontics in Colchester?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we go any further let\u2019s take a second to understand exactly what we\u2019re talking about when we\u2019re referring to orthodontics.<\/p>\n

Orthodontics in Colchester<\/strong> are anything we do at the dentist that\u2019s going to move the placement of your teeth or jaw. For the most part we\u2019re talking about braces, and as I’m sure you are aware these now come in many, many, many different forms.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of braces? Well there\u2019s the obvious they make your teeth look super straight and sleek but what\u2019s beyond this? What can braces do to take your smile to new heights?<\/p>\n

One of the stand out benefits we at The Dental Studio<\/strong> see is that straighter teeth are in fact healthier teeth too. Straighter teeth are just much easier to clean than cramped and crooked teeth in the same way that your kitchen cupboards are much more tricky to clean when they\u2019re randomly stacked pots and pans in the way.<\/p>\n

Why Is Cleaning So Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other than the basics that it means you\u2019re able to be more hygienic, clean teeth are less likely to develop decay and or gum disease which are still the two leading causes of tooth loss in the UK and still plague us dentists on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Straighter Teeth – Happier Gutt<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been heaps loads more research done into the relationship between the brain and gut in the last five years and with more and more people suffering with IBS, it\u2019s clear that we need to be doing more to work on the relationship between our brain and stomachs.<\/p>\n

Where Do Teeth Come In To This?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If our teeth aren\u2019t correctly aligned then they are able to chew in the way that they want to naturally. This is problematic as it can mean the body doesn\u2019t realise enough salvia which is a really important stage of the digestion process. If food isn\u2019t being broken down enough before it reaches our stomachs it\u2019s going to cause issues with discomfort and bloating which in turn has a negative effect on our mental health.<\/p>\n

Jaw Ache<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been lots of research done into the relationship between misaligned teeth and jaw ache, teeth grinding and general tension. All of these if left untreated can go on to cause problems with sleep and migraines but can usually be resolved with some realignment using orthodontics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
