Of course everyone would ideally like perfectly straight teeth for cosmetic reasons, however having a straight smile is actually better for you. This is why treating bite problems is so important.
There are a variety of conditions that require orthodontic procedures to correct them, such as:
- Crowded Teeth
- Crooked Teeth
- Too Much Space Between Teeth
- Overbite, Underbite and Overjet
- Openbite
The cause of orthodontic problems is largely caused by heredity and bad habits, like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting. When you have a bite issue, not only does it affect your appearance (and self-esteem), but it can also lead to other problems. For example, crowded teeth may be harder to clean leading to more cavities and periodontal issues. It may also be difficult to chew, teeth may be more likely to chip, along with jaw and misalignment, which can be caused by grinding or clenching of your teeth. All of the above secondary issues caused by orthodontic problems can result in costly restorations down the road.
