The aesthetics of straight teeth gives a person the reason to smile confidently and beautifully. However, the fact is that while your smile turns mesmerising, you can have some medical advantages to it as well. Wearing orthodontic braces is an investment in oral hygiene that will make you healthy in the long run.  

If you lost your permanent teeth as a result of some injury or accident, then it will affect the rest of the teeth and gums as well. This would make your face look thinner and older than you actually are, and your jaw will make sounds and shifts in places. This leads to a developmental issue with your jaw and teeth. 

If you have misaligned teeth or if the teeth themselves are crooked with too much space between them, then braces would not just make the teeth aligned and beautiful, but it would also correct all other issues that accompany it. Crooked teeth can wear out the teeth, jaw muscles and gums leading to other health problems like chronic headaches and jaw strain. 

The problems associated with crooked and misaligned teeth can be controlled with orthodontic braces. The following problems can be controlled:

Chewing and digestion - Food needs to be digested properly, and for that, you need to have a proper set of teeth. With the teeth being crooked, you will not be able to chew properly, and if the food isn’t chewed properly, the digestion wouldn’t happen well, leading to other digestive issues.

Periodontal diseases - Tooth decay and gum disease are major results of periodontal disease and if left untreated, could lead to a serious infection that damage the teeth and bones.  With braces, your teeth will be spaced out evenly so it is possible to brush and floss properly.

No more grinding and chipping of teeth - With misaligned teeth, the chances for grinding the teeth, especially while sleeping is very pertinent, and this can be controlled with orthodontic braces.

Speech difficulties - It is difficult to speak well with crooked teeth because you will not be able to articulate properly.

Protruding teeth - Protruding teeth are more prone to injuries with broken teeth and broken lips in the event of an accident. Straightening that with dental braces would help you look not only good but less prone to injuries,

Formation of cavities - Cavities, when caught early can be treated fully, but when you ignore it, will require root canal treatment, and sometimes other costly procedures. With braces, you can prevent cavities, as it can space out the teeth evenly, and your teeth can remain healthy if you follow all the rules of oral hygiene. 

Emotionally disturbed - With crooked teeth, people tend to be unhappy with their physical appearance, and this affects them emotionally, avoiding social gatherings and going out in public.
