The idea of seeing the dentist can evoke a lot of negative feelings in people. From anger to anxiety, guilt and stress dental visits are not everyone’s cup of tea. Similarly, for some people, a visit to the orthodontist may seem unnecessary, since they believe that having crooked teeth is not an issue. However, no matter how long it has been since you have visited the orthodontist (or even if you have never visited the orthodontist before), it is still important to find time for this appointment.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we will routinely look for orthodontic problems while checking your teeth and gums during your bi-annual dental check-up and examination. If we find any problems with the alignment of your teeth and your jaw we will recommend orthodontics in Harley Street.
However, if you hear orthodontics and you immediately picture metal brackets and wires, don’t be alarmed – we also offer more discreet, subtler choices that allow you to smile throughout your treatment with orthodontics in Harley Street.
No more oral infections
People with crooked and misaligned teeth experience many problems with their dental hygiene, since harmful bacteria can hide in-between the crevices created by their teeth. If not removed properly, these bacteria transform into plaque and can eventually lead to gum disease and other oral health complications (i.e. cavities, tooth loss)
No more jaw problems
It has been proven that misaligned teeth can cause stress on the jaw, which can lead to the overall dysfunction of the jawbone (a condition known as TMJ). Fixing your bite problems with orthodontics in Harley Street will allow your bite to improve and prevent your teeth from wearing down unevenly. Additionally, if you don’t align your teeth properly, you may experience severe headaches because of the pressure concentrated on your jaw.
A well-rounded treatment
As you can see, braces provide many benefits to your oral and overall health. In addition to these benefits, your improved self-esteem and your new appearance will provide a much needed psychological improvement that is invaluable.
