If you have crooked teeth, or if parts of your smile are crowded and overlapping, then you need orthodontic treatment. Braces, aligners, and interceptive orthodontics, can help all ages in the path to an even smile, and a healthier one too. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about the risks posed by an uneven smile, and how we can help! An even smile is possible, and we want to help you on that journey!
The Causes of Poor Alignment
Why do our smiles sometimes develop poor alignment? This could happen due to issues with the growth of your jaw and the eruption of your teeth in childhood, as sometimes there may not be enough room to accommodate all of your teeth. If your wisdom teeth erupt in your late teens, this could also impact overall alignment. Losing baby teeth too late or early could alter how permanent teeth erupt to cause misalignment, as could losing teeth in your teen and adult years, as this causes nearby teeth to drift and alters your misalignment.
The Risks for Your Smile
What dangers will poor alignment pose for your oral health? Uneven teeth could make brushing and flossing difficult, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The imbalance in your bite due to uneven teeth could lead to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding), damaging teeth and worsening discomfort. You could also feel embarrassed about your appearance, which impacts your overall quality of life and your social interactions. But we can help provide an even smile with orthodontics.
Help With Orthodontics
We have an array of orthodontics options available. To help guide smile growth and limit poor alignment in childhood, we could offer interceptive orthodontics, such as retainers or space maintainers. For teens and adults, we could provide braces or lingual braces for more severe cases, or clear Invisalign® aligners for more minor cases. We also have custom retainers for teens and adults too.
If you have any questions about how we strengthen smiles and help improve overall alignment and bite function, then please reach out to our team today to learn more! We want to help you smile with confidence again, and enjoy your best possible smile.
