Why you should invest in orthodontics to protect your smile

In a similar way to an investment in education can help you build a successful future, so too, in our opinion can the potential impact of a winning smile propel you toward a bright and rosy future. A winning smile does not only pose value for an attractive selfie for a social media share. No, the value it holds is much weightier and far reaching. This is probably why we have seen a stratospheric rise in the number of patients visiting The Dental Studio, seeking a consultation with our highly proficient dental practitioner for orthodontics in Colchester to fix the look of their smiles.orthodontics-in-colchester

It can be argued that in a way, a smile can be considered as currency. In an image-obsessed society, one’s looks is held on an equal footing to status and intelligence for the powerful sway it has over the opinions of others. Smile an attractive smile and one can easily convince others to form a positive impression and they are most likely to consider the smile-bearer: intelligent, confident, kind, empathetic and friendly.

If so much can be achieved with just a smile then it is no wonder that individuals with less-than pleasing smiles look to orthodontics in Colchester – a branch of dentistry dedicated to addressing issues with the appearance and function of teeth and jaw. At our dental practice, we include orthodontics in Colchester as a core part of our service offering to help patients achieve designer-like smiles. Here are some very good arguments in favour of investing in a teeth-correcting treatment.

What can be achieved with orthodontics

There are many desirable benefits that can be achieved to enhance aesthetics or improve mouth function with teeth-correcting treatment plans. Some of these desirable benefits include:

Improved dental health

Optimal dental health is heavily dependent on one’s ability to effectively brush and floss teeth, but this is harder to do when teeth are crooked. Misaligned teeth create hard-to-reach areas in the mouth with the result that harmful bacteria find deal places to flourish. By straightening teeth with appropriate orthodontic appliances, patients will find that they are better equipped to clean without any hassles and there is a reduced risk of losing permanent teeth to decay or gum disease and they are less likely to experience masticatory problems, jaw-related problems, tooth injuries, enamel wear and tear and speech impediments.

Avoid bigger dental problems down the line. This item is more applicable to children who may face problems in the future arising from teeth not developing correctly. Dentists will refer to teeth-correcting appliances to resolve issues detected in the young before they can escalate and cause problems later on.

Improved bite

When teeth do not grow as they should, this can interfere with masticatory function. Food that is not chewed or ground down appropriately may cause a problem with digestion and proper intake of nutrition.

Improvement in speech

It is often found that speech difficulties are tied in with crooked teeth issues where an individual is not able to pronounce sounds as they should. Should this be the case, a dental practitioner may recommend a treatment plan that includes wearing braces.
