Dubai, UAE- Having straight teeth and a perfect smile is much more than a beauty concern. Proper teeth alignment, where the teeth fall straight and are evenly spaced is not only easier to clean, but also helps improve your oral health. Today, more and more people are concerned about their dental health and have understood the link between healthy teeth and a beautiful smile- which is why there is a visible increase in the number of orthodontic patients of all ages around the globe.

“Earlier, when traditional braces were the only viable option for correcting malocclusions, most people stayed away from getting treatment due to embarrassment and the pain associated with the method,” says the expert spokesperson for Emirates Dental Clinic, one of Dubai’s leading centers for clear aligners. “With the advent of invisible braces or clear aligner treatment, people are open to the idea of getting their misalignments corrected and take the next step towards better dental health.”

Dentists have always recommended orthodontic intervention for people with crooked teeth as these misalignments can lead to many oral health hazards. It comes without surprise that crooked teeth are harder to clean and maintain. There may be certain areas of your teeth that are hard to reach with a toothbrush due to crowding or misalignment, where plaque and tartar may build up. The presence of tartar can eventually lead to tooth decay and gum diseases that affect the quality of life of the patient. Leaving gum diseases untreated may result in loss of gum tissue and even tooth loss.

Tooth decay is also pretty common among people with malocclusion. While cavities are normal and form over time, misaligned teeth may hasten this process. Crooked teeth are also linked to jaw pain and digestive issues as chewing food becomes a hard and sometimes incomplete task.

“The latest scientific studies also link poor oral health to chronic health issues including heart diseases,” the expert continues. “If a patient has persistent gum diseases for instance due to being triggered by malocclusion, the bacteria from the gums can enter the bloodstream leading to a multitude of diseases.”

To avoid all of these, it is high time that patients take their oral health seriously and get orthodontic intervention as necessary.
