Braces can give you a beautiful smile, but they can benefit you in other ways, too. More than 1,00,000 people in India wear braces, but how do you know if they’re right for you?
Let’s look at seven reasons that might indicate a need for braces:
Overcrowded or crooked teeth
When your teeth overlap over each other, bacteria can grow in those hard-to-reach areas under the gum line of your teeth, which can lead to plaque and decay. Spreading your teeth out evenly with braces enables you to practice an effective oral hygiene routine and improves the appearance of your smile, as well.
Unable to floss
You should floss at least once a day, but if your teeth are too close to each other or are crooked, you might have difficulty accomplishing the task. This can lead to decay and other oral health problems.
Can’t bite down effectively
If you have an underbite, crossbite, overbite, or an open bite, you probably struggle to bite down properly when eating or even talking. Our orthodontic treatments can correct these issues.
Teeth interfere with your tongue
If your teeth cause you to unwillingly bite your tongue or cut it because they’re sharp, braces can adjust your teeth to stop this from happening.
Teeth cause speech problems
When your teeth aren’t aligned properly, you can struggle with pronouncing your words correctly, which affects your overall ability to communicate. Braces straighten and align your teeth properly, allowing your tongue to touch the teeth needed to speak normally and naturally.
Soreness in your jawline
Do your jaws feel fatigued after chewing food or talking for a long time? This is a potential sign that your teeth and jaws need alignment, which braces can fix.
Your jaw pops
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that allows your mouth to open and close. If you hear a clicking sound when you chew food or when you open your mouth, braces can correct the joint’s alignment so that it works properly.
