Hi, Dr. Anand here from Warragul Dental Care.
Often, when people think about crooked teeth, they usually think about aesthetics. But did you know that there’s a lot more to it than just how they look? Here are three hidden problems that come with misaligned teeth.
First, they’re harder to clean, leading to a higher risk of decay and gum disease.
Crooked teeth create nooks and crannies that are hard to clean properly. This means plaque and bacteria can build up, leading to gum inflammation, cavities, and as mentioned gum disease.
Second, uneven wear and bite issues. When your teeth aren’t aligned properly, some of them hit harder than others, causing uneven wear and tear. Over time, this can weaken teeth, make them sensitive, or even lead to chipped and cracked teeth.
So, crooked teeth aren’t just a cosmetic issue; they can actually affect your dental health in serious ways. If you’re wondering whether orthodontic treatment could help you, let’s have a chat. Simply call 03 8899 6937 or DM us to organise a consultation.
