There are many benefits to having a great smile. You will see that your overall health is often a result of how well you take care of your teeth and gums. Your confidence, wallet and communication are also affected by a great smile.
Clear Speech
Many times the cause of speech issues and impediments are misaligned teeth. Simple teeth movement can improve your speech which affects self-confidence, work and school performance, as well as overall appearance.
Saving Money on Dental Care
Straight teeth paired with healthy gums are easy paths to saving money. Uneven gums are more difficult to clean and care for, making it easy for bacteria to cause gum issues and even gum disease. This in itself is no cheap venture.
Overall Health
ADA studies have shown that the bacteria that creates oral infections, can also lead to periodontal disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and pneumonia. Oral hygiene is a link to how healthy your body will be!
Confidence
It is no surprise that a straight smile is a link to a more confident person. Interview, presentation, and everyday interaction quality increases. People who are confident in their smiles are often confident in their lives.
