Straightened Teeth are Better for Your Oral Health

Braces aren’t just for children anymore! Lots of adults are now opting to have orthodontic treatment to improve not only the look of their teeth but their oral health too. We are very busy here at the Bank House Dental Centre providing popular orthodontic care to patients from Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Thame and the surrounding areas.
One of the biggest challenges of having crooked teeth other than the way they look is that it is much harder to keep them clean, even with an electric toothbrush. After brushing, plaque inevitably gets left behind which can cause tender and bleeding gums, gum recession and bad breath – eventually even tooth decay.
Properly aligned teeth are much easier to brush and floss, and the gums fit more tightly around them reducing the retention of plaque. This in turn reduces the risk of gum disease and other problems which leads to much better oral health.
There are different types of braces available from the traditional fixed bracketed braces to removable appliances, like the Inman Aligner, and even clear ‘invisible’ braces depending on suitability and how discreet you want them to be.
If your teeth are misaligned and you don’t like the look of them or you are worried about the impact they are having on your oral health, then call us on 01844343381 to book a FREE consultation.
